From Cox’s Bazar — how to address refugee needs amid COVID-19
August 16, 2020
“I was a child when the flood in 1998 hit. This flood is nothing like we have seen before. This hit us thrice in one month. My house is filled with water – which sometimes recedes, and sometimes rises.
Transmission of COVID-19 worried us, but our home is inhabitable, so my husband and I stayed at the crowded flood shelter.
I heard on the radio that maintaining a three-feet distance from others was a crucial way to reduce the risk of transmission, so my husband and I decided to leave the shelter. We are staying on the road now.”
