OLDER PEOPLE IN REFUGEE CAMPS HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE COVID-19 HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE.

They’re often excluded from informal town meetings due to physical constraints and have difficulty hearing megaphone announcements about the virus.

THEY FACE A DEVASTATING COMBINATION.

They are the group most at-risk of COVID-19, and they are also the group least included in the response.

Some groups face heightened vulnerabilities during this pandemic, and they must not be left out of the response. Your support means we can continue calling on governments and humanitarian agencies to keep them at the centre of their planning.

PLEASE GIVE WHAT YOU CAN TO HELP RESPOND TO THE HEIGHTENED VULNERABILITY FACED BY GROUPS SUCH AS OLDER ROHINGYA REFUGEES. 

What the spread of this virus should teach us is that globally we are all connected, and we can all help one another – so let’s start now.
