An outbreak of Chicken Pox in the Rohingya Camps

News Desk:

Rohingya refugees who fled a brutal military crackdown in Myanmar are facing a fresh problem in Bangladesh, where they now live in congested and squalid camps.

There has been an outbreak of chickenpox among the refugees, with around 20,000 people affected this year so far. People are complaining about few rashes on but due to chickenpox they had severe vomiting and many them came here for follow up treatment,”

Hundreds of thousands of people from the Rohingya Muslim minority arrived in Bangladesh following the crackdown, which triggered the exodus and strained resources in the impoverished country.
