Fire at New Delhi Rohingya Refugee Camps Leaves Hundreds Without Shelter
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In India, a massive fire destroyed a Rohingya refugee camp in the
capital New Delhi, leaving hundreds without homes. No casualties were
reported. Some 40,000 Rohingya refugees live in camps across India, but
the Hindu nationalist government has been arresting and threatening to
deport members of the persecuted community. Some refugees from the
burned camp say the blaze may have been an act of arson.
