Elephants trample 10 Rohingya refugees

GENEVA: Elephants searching for food have trampled 10 Rohingya refugees to death in multiple incidents, the United Nations said on Tuesday, announcing a new plan to foster “safe coexistence” between animals and sprawling refugee settlements. “The area occupied by the Kutupalong refugee settlement has long been an important habitat for elephants. There are 40 elephants in the area, and they move between Bangladesh and Myanmar in search of food,” the UN refugee agency said.
