Devastation And Resilience In The Wake Of The Korail Slum Fire In Dhaka

A catastrophic fire tears through Korail slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on November 26, 2025, one of the largest informal settlements in the city, destroying over 1,000 homes and leaving thousands of families homeless. The fire, which breaks out in the early hours, spreads quickly through the tightly packed dwellings made of wood and tin, reducing entire sections of the slum to ashes. While the disaster leaves residents grappling with loss and despair, the community's resilience shines through as they begin to rebuild, relying on limited resources and unwavering solidarity. The tragedy also highlights the urgent need for better fire safety measures and improved living conditions in these overcrowded urban areas. (Photo by Mostafijur Rahman Nasim/NurPhoto)
