The densely populated camps in #CoxsBazar raise the potential of disease outbreaks & the temporary nature of shelters build on soft land raises risk during this #monsoon & #cyclones. These conditions also mean people living in them are some of the most vulnerable to #COVID19. https://t.co/Ccfp00OLLM
