Healthcare organizations have provided vaccinations to Rohingya children aged between 1 and 6 years to protect them from dangerous diseases at the world’s largest refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.
A correspondent from Arakan News Agency reported that the healthcare organizations involved include BRAC, the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS), and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
He stated that these vaccines are extremely important for the health and safety of the Rohingya community, as they help prevent diseases such as measles, polio, and other infections that can easily spread in crowded places.
He emphasized the need for parents to bring their children to the vaccination centers on time to ensure they remain healthy.
Bangladesh has been hosting more than one million Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar since they fled a “genocidal campaign” launched by the Myanmar military in 2017. The refugees live in the world’s largest and most densely populated refugee camp, heavily relying on international humanitarian aid, as they are barred from obtaining formal employment outside the camps.
