Rohingya refugees suffer from diphtheria outbreak
A new health challenge has emerged in the crowded camps housing Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. After dealing with cholera and measles, the camps are now struggling with a diphtheria outbreak.
The United Nations says more than 400 of the Rohingya refugees living in crowded camps in Bangladesh are suspected to have contracted Diphtheria.
A vaccination campaign has started to inoculate thousands of others from the potentially fatal respiratory disease.
