NEW DELHI: 25-year-old Ruhina is holding her two children as she looks at her, now rubble, shanty in Okhla’s Kalindi Kunj.
On Saturday night, hundreds of people were left homeless after a Rohingya refugee camp was turned into ashes as it caught massive fire. “At around 11.30 pm, the mosque in the middle caught fire. After that our jhuggis also caught fire. I just got a hold of my kids and ran away outside leaving everything behind,” Rufina said.
Other women sitting with her said that they could not even gather their children’s clothes and now had to use whatever they got from relief groups.
The area had about 53 shanties, sheltering close to 300 people, who are Rohingya refugees, fleeing persecution in Myanmar. The devastation has left them broken-hearted and without hope. “We had no work during the pandemic and were just doing menial jobs here and there to get by. Now with this devastation, we have to start anew,” Abdul, standing in rubble, were once his home stood.
