Thirty children have died in a temporary camp for Rohingya refugees from neighboring Myanmar as a result of diphtheria, Bangladesh officials said.
The BBC reported on Monday that more than 4,000 suspected cases of the disease have been recorded so far, after it have exploded significantly.
More than 650,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled to Bangladesh since the Myanmar army launched a brutal crackdown in August.
The Myanmar army said it was conducting a clean-up, but the United Nations, the United States and other countries considered what had happened as a “ethnic cleansing” operation committed against the Rohingya Muslims to expel them from the country.
