The agreement updates and expands an existing 1997 agreement between the two organizations. The key aim this year will be to support ongoing efforts to protect some 70 million forcibly displaced people from COVID-19. Around 26 million of these are refugees, 80 per cent of whom are sheltered in low and middle-income countries with weak health systems. Another 40 million internally displaced people also require assistance. For more than 20 years, UNHCR and WHO have worked together worldwide to safeguard the health of some of the world’s most vulnerable populations.

Azimul Khan said , “the ration provided from various NGOs for the Rohingya refugees is not enough”. In Myanmar, he used to do small business and last year he got permission to open the shop at Thaingkhali. He said this year Ramadan's income was much lower than last year’s due to lockdown and people are buying less because they have less money. He added that he closed the shop after 4pm as per the instructions. Mr. Khan further said, he doesn’t let the shops get crowded and he doesn’t sell the products to the little ones either for the safety regulations following the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19).
