Covid-19 causing refugee mental health crisis

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Medecins Sans Frontieres says that the Covid-19 pandemic has caused a deterioration in the mental health of many of the occupants of Dadaab, the world's largest refugee camp. Emmanuelle Privat, representing the NGO, tells Focus on Africa that many donor countries have cut back foreign aid spending on refugees in order to spend more on domestic problems associated with the pandemic.
