Bangladesh and aid agencies vaccinate Rohingya refugees as a surge in nationwide Covid cases raises health risks in camps
Bangladesh's government and aid agencies started vaccinating Rohingya refugees as a virus surge raises health risks in the sprawling, cramped camps where more than 1 million people who fled Myanmar are sheltering.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said on Tuesday a national positivity rate of around 30% indicates the spread of Covid-19 is much higher, especially with cramped conditions and the risks faced by many people living in the refugee camps. About 500 Bangladesh Red Crescent staff and volunteers joined the health workers for the campaign in collaboration with the UN refugee agency, according to a statement from the international body.
