A deadly fire broke out at a beach resort in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, killing 10 tourists. Among those who died was a 5-year-old child.
Local authorities are now working to figure out who the victims are. This process is expected to be difficult because there is no DNA lab in the area. A DNA lab is a special facility that uses science to match biological samples to identify people. Without one nearby, the process of confirming who the victims were will likely be delayed.
Firefighters responded to the scene, but the damage was already done. The tragedy has shaken the local community and tourists alike.
Officials are continuing to investigate what caused the blaze. For now, the focus remains on identifying the victims and helping their families during this difficult time.
