Doha: For Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, the nongovernmental organisation Qatar Charity is rebuilding 326 homes. In March, a fire at the Balukhali camp caused damage to them.

The Qatar News Agency reported on Monday that design and construction of the homes, which will have two rooms for each family to live in, has started.

Authorities in the area expressed gratitude to the Qatari people for their assistance with the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and ongoing humanitarian efforts in other refugee camps across the nation.
