Cox’s Bazar, in Bangladesh, is hosting nearly one million Rohingya living in crowded refugee camps where these life-saving actions can hardly be the norm.
WHO humanitarian worker, Rebecca Rachel Apolot, is using her vast outbreak experience to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the health facilities serving the world’s largest refugee camp.
