Overcrowded conditions and shelters built from flammable materials like bamboo and tarpaulin make the camps extremely unsafe. One small flame from cooking, unsafe heating, or a damaged electrical system can destroy homes and belongings in minutes, leaving families with nothing.
With limited firefighting resources, a slow emergency response, and inadequate equipment, these fires spread uncontrollably, escalating fear and insecurity among the refugees.
In the past few months, five massive fire incidents have occurred in different Rohingya refugee camps: two in December, one in January, and two more in February. The fires have occurred in Rohingya Camp 5, Camp 11, Camp 16, Camp 24, and KRC.
These repeated disasters are leaving already displaced families with nothing, again and again. Highlighting the devastating impact, all of these fires have taken place at night, when families are asleep. In total, between these five incidents just over the past three months, around 700 refugee shelters have been completely burned down, displacing thousands of people during the difficult winter season.
In addition to the five major fire incidents since December, four smaller fires also broke out in the camps. Although these incidents were not major, they partially destroyed some of the refugee shelters. Even now, many families are living without proper shelters, while others are forced to crowd into relatives’ shelters, struggling to survive in already difficult winter conditions.
The flames spread uncontrollably, consuming not only homes and belongings, but also the emotional well-being of the Rohingya refugees living in the camps.
“We were asleep when the fire started,” recalled a Rohingya father who lost his shelter in one of the recent fires. “Suddenly, we were awakened by loud sounds. Scared, we ran as immediately as we could. I did not even think we would survive.”
Sirajul Islam, a Rohingya poet and human rights activist, said, “This perennial occurrence of fire is preventable but agencies fail to prevent it, which is why we can say that something is wrong with it.”
In response to the growing number of fire-related tragedies, urgent measures are needed. These include increasing fire safety awareness among refugees, providing proper firefighting equipment and proper training, and improving the overall infrastructure of the camps to reduce the risk of future fires.
A Rohingya volunteer in the camp, Nur Alam, outlined what is at stake: “Every year, especially during the winter season, fire incidents happen. In the fire, people not only lose hope, but everything they have.”
