Re: [HELP] No soap or water to fight COVID-19
URGENT: Refugees need protection against COVID-19: ACT NOW >>

Alax, the simple practice of handwashing with soap and water saves lives, as you know all too well by now. But what if you didn't have access to soap or safe water?
The 900,000 Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh are already vulnerable to a COVID-19 outbreak due to overcrowding. But it's their lack of access to soap and water that could turn this already deadly virus into a catastrophe.
UNICEF is working hard to prevent a nightmare scenario by sending emergency water and hygiene kits -- and we need your help. Alax: For just $58, you can rush an entire month's supply of soap, water purification tablets and other lifesaving items to a vulnerable family and protect them from the spread of disease >>

Overcrowding in refugee camps and the lack of running water and soap creates a deadly environment for the virus to spread very quickly, leaving families without any way to protect themselves.
If the virus starts to spread, it could decimate these communities, which lack access to adequate health care and ventilators. We need to stop the disease in its tracks by ensuring families can protect themselves. Please send emergency soap, water, hygiene kits and other lifesaving supplies to those who need it most >>
