Summers A , Humphreys A , Leidman E , Van Mil LT , Wilkinson C , Narayan A , Miah ML , Cramer BG , Bilukha O . MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2018 67 (18) 533-535 Violence in the Rakhine State of Myanmar, which began on August 25, 2017, prompted mass displacement of Rohingya to the bordering district of Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Joining the nearly 213,000 Rohingya already in the region, an estimated 45,000 persons settled in two preexisting refugee camps, Nayapara and Kutupalong, and nearly 550,000 into new makeshift settlements (1). Mass violence and displacement, accompanied by malnutrition, overcrowding, poor hygiene, and lack of access to safe water and health care increase the vulnerability of children to infectious diseases, including pneumonia and diarrhea (2). |

In April 2017, the CDC-affiliated coauthors traveled to the Marshall Islands to provide in-person technical assistance. |
