(Screenshot of BBC News article from March 24, 2021 that says): An enormous fire has spread through a Rohingya camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The UN’s refugee agency says 45,000 people have been displaced, at least 15 have died and 400 remain unaccounted for.

As the fire engulfed thousands of makeshift shelters, Saiful Arakani, a 25-year-old refugee, ran straight into the toxic smoke to help find survivors.

“People were turning to ashes in front of my eyes,” Saiful said.
