Purpose. The 2014 outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in West Africa was the largest in history.
Humanitarian agencies strive to provide sanitation facilities which are safe, accessible and afford users privacy and dignity.

Mount Sinabung erupted in September 2013, causing the mass evacuation of more than 30,000 people.
Communicable diseases are of particular concern in conflict and disaster-affected populations that reside in camp settings.
