DHAKA, July 27 (Reuters): At least six Rohingya Muslims, including children, were killed and several injured on Tuesday after heavy monsoon rains triggered a landslide in refugee camps in southern Bangladesh, officials said.

"So far we have information of five people who died in the landslides in camps and one child swept away by flooding,” Mohammad Shamsud Douza, a senior Bangladesh government official in charge of the refugees, said.
