A fire burned down 50 homes and several shops in a Rohingya camp in Cox's Bazar's Ukhiya. 

The fire broke out at 11:30am today (24 May) at the Tanzimarkhola Rohingya camp in Ukhiya's Palongkhali union, said Shamsu-Douza Noyon, the additional refugee relief and repatriation commissioner. 

It was brought under control around 12:45pm after an all-out effort of four units of the fire service.
