The Rohingya refugee camps are the densest refugee camps in the world. Last month, two Rohingya refugees were the first positive COVID-19 cases in the camp. Now, there are almost forty cases, with the first two deaths reported a few days ago. With almost a million-people residing in these camps, COVID-19 can have a devastating impact.
The camps lack the resources needed to prevent the spread of this deadly virus. The density of the population does not allow them to maintain social distancing measures. These camps lack basic necessities such as soap, water, and masks, making hygienic procedures to contain the spread very difficult. Funds are also needed to sanitize facilities and educate Rohingya on how to prevent the spread of the virus.
Violence, starvation, and HIV are a few of the countless atrocities the Rohingya already face. Currently, hundreds and thousands of Rohingya are in need of shelter, food, supplies, and medical aid. Now, with the onset of COVID-19, we cannot stand by and watch our Rohingya brothers and sisters suffer without attempting to help.
