3/4 of the https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌍" title="Earth globe europe-africa" aria-label="Emoji: Earth globe europe-africa">’s refugees & many migrants are hosted in developing regions where health systems are already overwhelmed & under-capacitated, & live in:
-overcrowded camps
-settlements
-make-shift shelters
-reception centers
where they lack access to health services, clean https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚰" title="Potable water symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Potable water symbol"> & https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚽" title="Toilet" aria-label="Emoji: Toilet">.
The situation for refugees & migrants held in formal & informal places of detention, in cramped & unsanitary conditions, is particularly worrying. Considering the lethal consequences a #COVID19 outbreak would have, they should be released without delay. https://bit.ly/2wUAEOD ">https://bit.ly/2wUAEOD&q...
#COVID19 can be controlled only if there is an inclusive approach which protects every individual’s rights to life & health. Migrants and refugees are disproportionately vulnerable to exclusion, stigma and discrimination, particulary when undocumented.
To ensure refugees and migrants have adequate access to national health services, States may need additional financial support. This is where the world’s financial institutions can play a leading role in making funds available. https://bit.ly/2wUAEOD ">https://bit.ly/2wUAEOD&q... #COVID19
