A refugee woman from Myanmar holds her child after receiving some aid at the Um-Piam refugee camp after a fire engulfed big part of it near Mae Sot on Feb. 24. A huge fire yesterday at a refugee camp along the border of Myanmar and Thailand destroyed about 5,000 homes. Due to the flammable nature of the bamboo, the fire quickly spread. The camp is home to about 17,000 Myanmar refugees fleeing fighting between the army and ethnic minorities.
