GENEVA: Elephants searching for food have trampled 10 Rohingya refugees to death in multiple incidents, the UN said Tuesday, announcing a new plan to foster ?safe coexistence? between animals and sprawling refugee settlements.?The area now occupied by the Kutupalong refugee settlement has long been an important habitat for Asian Elephants. There are about 40 Elephants in the area and they move between Bangladesh and Myanmar in search of food,? the Geneva-based agency said in a statement. ?When wild Elephants attempt to pass through the camp they inevitably come into contact with people, which is where the danger arises. ?Tragically 10 refugees have been killed by frightened Elephants inside the settlements. Other people have been injured and lost the little property they had,? the statement further said.
