Last week, out of 65 UNHCR colleagues tested for #COVID19 in one remote field location, 19 were positive.
Mercifully all are doing well, but it shows the urgency of including frontline aid workers in #COVIDVaccinations so they can continue to carry out life-saving activities.
This study by @Refugees & @WorldBank on the socioeconomic situation of refugees and host community #kakuma will guide and inform our evidence-based programmatic interventions. @UNHCR_Kenya
