Also questioned was why fires appeared to start with relative frequency, with a local fire brigade official stating three fires had occured in four days; Amnesty International stated that, in their view, the "frequency of fire in the camps is too coincidental, especially when outcomes of previous investigations into the incidents are not known and they keep repeating", while a spokesman for the refugees noted that "It is not clear why these fire incidents are happening repeatedly in the camps".[1] CBS reported that Bangladesh suspects arson, noting that "officials there say it's too much of a coincidence to have so many fires in such a short time period".[12] Although the fire had died down within 48 hours, its cause was still unknown.[3] The World Food Programme belived up to 87,500 people would ultimately be affected by the fire,[4] with the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement put the figure at 123,000.[11][note 3] Aid agencies said the situation would remain critical due to the proximity of cyclone season.[11]
