Turkish charity group delivers aid to Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh

COX'S BAZAR, BANGLADESH - JANUARY 14: A Turkish humanitarian aid organization has started emergency relief efforts for a fire-hit Rohingya refugee camp in southern Bangladesh. In a written statement on Friday, the Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) said it provided medical check-up for 105 people, and offered relevant services to residents of the region who needed urgent treatment. Also, blankets, mats and clothes were delivered to 488 families, the statement said. A deadly fire that ripped through the crammed Camp 16 in the Cox's Bazar district on Sunday reduced hundreds of makeshift tents, education centers, Islamic seminaries, and mosques, officials said. Some 1,200 bamboo shelters burned down on Sunday, while hundreds of people were slightly injured and thousands of people lost their homes in the fire, according to the IHH. Bangladesh is currently hosting over 1.1 million Rohingya in refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar who have fled a brutal military crackdown in neighboring Myanmar’s Rakhine State since August 2017. Earlier this month, the camp's COVID-19 isolation center was severely damaged in a fire. No casualties were reported and all patients under treatment, including those under isolation, were safely evacuated.(Footage by Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH)/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
