The conflict in Myanmar has forced roughly 850,000 Rohingya refugees to flee across the border into Bangladesh. Many now live in a series of sprawling refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, there has been an increase in the number of Rohingya refugees moving from Bangladesh and Myanmar, towards other countries in Southeast Asia. High population density, a lack of knowledge about COVID-19 and a lack of access to water, sanitation, and hygiene in settlements have exacerbated the risks among Rohingya refugees and migrants.
