12 People Died After Elephants Ran Over a Refugee Camp

The elephants were stressed because the refugee camp blocked one of the routes that the animals have been using for centuries.


Twelve refugees were killed after frightened elephants ran over one of the largest refugee camps in the world, the BBC reported.

The animals destroyed many of the homes in a Bangkish camp in Bangladesh.

The problem is that huge refugee camps block elephants' migration routes. Animals get confused and stressed when they deviate from their routes.

The United Nations Association decided to set up observation towers and specially trained teams to guide the animals when they cross the camp. With this, they hope to avoid more death cases among both people and elephants. So far, no elephant has been injured.
