Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic poses a grave threat to refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
When responding to an emergency situation, ensuring safe excreta disposal is an urgent priority in the disaster relief effort.
Sanitation is an issue often neglected in development decision making.
Communicable diseases are of particular concern in conflict and disaster-affected populations that reside in camp settings.
