Hundreds more are injured and about 45,000 people have been displaced. They are among about 1 million of the minority Rohingya Muslims who have fled from neighboring Myanmar, most of them to escape a brutal military crackdown in 2017. The photos by Planet Labs Inc. were taken on Nov. 12, 2020, and March 23, 2021, a day after the fire.
