Population Density in Rohingya Refugee Camps

 

Population Density Comparisons

 
 

 

Rohingya refugee camps are 6 times more dense than New York City, the densest city in the US. This dramatic difference is further exacerbated by the fact that Rohingya shelters only have one floor compared to high-rises prevalent in major US cities. In Rohingya camps, on average, 6 people share a single room in a  shelter/ home. Flattening the curve in refugee camps will be ineffective due to these conditions. COVID-19 will spread through the population extremely quickly, the already limited health force will be overwhelmed and mortality rates will be extraordinarily high.⁣
