Due to large scale displacement and loss of shelter and access to basic services, as well as poor living conditions, the displaced people are at risk of contracting vector and water borne diseases such as malaria and diarrhoeal diseases. The displaced people are also at risk to develop respiratory tract infections and measles. The disruption of health service delivery can also lead to non-availability of medicines and supplies for treatment of chronic diseases such as TB, hypertension, as well as diabetes.
