Dhaka, February 22 (RHC)-- Authorities in Bangladesh say at least 110 people have died in a massive fire that burned down several buildings in a poor, centuries-old neighborhood in the capital Dhaka.  The death toll is expected to rise as more bodies are uncovered. 

The fire began on the ground floor of a chemical warehouse before spreading to neighboring structures. Residents say they had raised safety concerns over the warehouse but were ignored by authorities.
