Fears Rohingya refugees face disaster after Covid-19 reaches Cox’s Bazar
Aid groups say coronavirus could race through camps housing one million people
Aid groups have warned of a looming humanitarian disaster after coronavirus was detected for the first time in the sprawling camps that host about one million Rohingya refugees.
The camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, which are more densely populated than some of the world’s busiest cities, have been under lockdown since 14 March, in an attempt to stop the virus from spreading.
