Camp life
Posted by admin in 
Families live in spaces about ten feet by eight feet in size in every camp. There is no privacy whatsoever. With inadequate provision for clean water, poor or non-functioning waste disposal and sewage systems, there are chronic hygiene problems. During the rainy seasons camps become particularly difficult places to live in . .
Water and sanitation are extremely inadequate in every camp. Geneva camp is one of the largest camps amongst the 116 camps. It is located in Dhaka and situated in one hundred twenty three thousand square feet area. Yet within this area, about twenty thousand people live. Only 250 poorly maintained toilets are available for twenty two thousand people and most without a functioning lock even. The absence of clean water particularly affects children; women and girls are also proned to acquiring urinary track infections. Poverty and lack of education compounds hygiene problems.
