Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic poses a grave threat to refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
Background In October 2010, Haiti was struck by a large-scale cholera epidemic.
When responding to an emergency situation, ensuring safe excreta disposal is an urgent priority in the disaster relief effort.
Communicable diseases are of particular concern in conflict and disaster-affected populations that reside in camp settings.
