and then move north to the Ukhiya district where the vast, teeming makeshift settlements of Kutupalong, Balukhali and other satellite sites are.
A woman and three young children, who had fled violence in their home country of Myanmar, were killed when the
animal stormed their temporary shelter in the Balukhali camp, where tens of thousands of refugees are living.

Four Rohingya refugees were trampled to death by an elephant in a makeshift camp in the Cox’s Bazaar area of Bangladesh on Saturday morning.
The Bangladesh branch of the International Office of Migration, the United Nations agency
that has been monitoring the influx of Rohingya into the country, confirmed the trampling incident in a statement posted to its Twitter account.
On Sept. 18, at least two Rohingya refugees died after an elephant stormed the Kutupalong camp, which was built in the area of an elephant sanctuary.
The deaths of the woman; two girls, 9 and 6; and a boy, 1; were confirmed by Md
Abdul Khayer, the officer in charge of the Ukhiya police station in the area.
