Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic poses a grave threat to refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
Humanitarian agencies strive to provide sanitation facilities which are safe, accessible and afford users privacy and dignity.
Camps are places of refuge for people fleeing conflict and disaster, but they can be dangerous, especially for women and girls.
After the 2015 earthquake in Nepal that killed approximately 9,000 people, the country faced an increased risk of cholera outbreaks
Mount Sinabung erupted in September 2013, causing the mass evacuation of more than 30,000 people.
