In a congested Rohingya refugee camp in southeast Bangladesh, a large fire broke out, leaving thousands of people without a place to stay.
At the Cox’s Bazar camp, where the fire started on Sunday, almost 2,000 shelters were destroyed.
To see what they can rescue from the rubble, hundreds of individuals have already returned to the area.
Almost 12,000 people are thought to be homeless right now; the majority of them fled the unrest in the neighboring country of Myanmar.
There have been no reported casualties, and the origin of the fire is still unknown.
According to an official, the fire broke out at around 14:45 local time (08:45 GMT) and quickly destroyed the bamboo and tarpaulin shelters.
After three hours, the fire was put out, but at least 35 mosques and 21 refugee learning centers perished in the process, he added.
Pictures that indicate the scale of the destruction are now starting to surface.
Many of the residents can be seen rummaging around the burned area, where all that is left are metal supports and singed corrugated roofs.
The allegedly largest refugee camp in the world is home to refugees who fled Myanmar when the military cracked down on the Rohingya ethnic minority.
