DHAKA — A big fire at a camp for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh destroyed homes and sent thick black clouds of smoke through the area on Sunday before being brought under control. The blaze erupted at Camp 11 in Cox's Bazar, a southeastern border district where more than a million Rohingya refugees live. Most of the refugees fled a military-led crackdown in Myanmar in 2017, and the fire left some of them homeless again. 'We currently don't have an estimate for damages but there are no reports of casualties,' Rafiqul Islam, additional police superintendent at Cox's Bazar told Reuters.
