Rohingya Refugee Camps

Rohingya camps had previously experienced outbreaks of multiple infectious diseases, including diphtheria, measles, COVID-19, acute watery diarrhoea, and cholera. The camps have high population density, fragile shelters, limited infrastructure, insufficient WASH facilities, and repeated hazards. Refugees and displaced populations in camp settings face disproportionate scabies risk because of overcrowding, hygiene constraints, treatment barriers, and stigma or discrimination. The study focused on Rohingya refugee camps and adjacent host communities in Ukhiya and Teknaf, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.
