A devastating fire has ripped through a COVID-19 treatment centre for Myanmar refugees sheltering in Bangladesh, according to a report by UN News.

UN migration agency (IOM) said in a tweet Tuesday that no-one was hurt at the health facility, part of the vast Cox’s Bazar camp complex, after the blaze began suddenly on Sunday evening.

Parts of the hospital were badly damaged, but health services are expected to “resume soon”, the agency said.

Field teams have been working around the clock to save the hospital and restore some normality to camp life. They are also assessing the damage and assist those in need, according to UN News

Earlier, IOM teams, Disaster Management Unit volunteers, and Government of Bangladesh response services, rushed to the hospital and worked hard to put out the fire and assist those in need.

The IOM teams are also working to raise awareness amongst refugees about what to do in the case of sudden fire in the camps.

The camp hosts many of the million Rohingya refugees that have fled violence in Myanmar in successive waves of displacement since the early 1990s.
