Classified by the Bangladeshi government as illegal immigrants, the people have not received any support until very recently. Since the end of May, MSF has been operating a small healthcare center and improving the water supply and sanitary conditions in the camp.');

Many camp residents like this old woman fled to Bangladesh years ago. Some were sent back to Myanmar only to flee again.');

Due to rainfall and rising waters the area floods several times a year.');

Because the shelters barely protect them against the wind and rain, many refugees suffer respiratory infections. MSF has now covered all of the around 1,000 shelters with plastic sheeting. ');

In addition to respiratory infections, MSF mostly treats diarrhea and skin infections. More than a third of the children are malnourished.');

MSF health promoters explain simple hygiene practices to the refugees and report cases of disease to prevent the outbreak of measles, diarrhea, or meningitis.');
