Needs no introduction welcome back to the stream thanks very much im joe im a Senior Correspondent for aljazeera english and ive covered the story of the plight of the rangar extensively for the network. Maam i have to tell you we were planning as episodes of the stream and were doing it quite long term because were not down here in washington d. C. Where we make the strains and we have to do some soon and then we saw an Instagram Post from yourself which im going to show our audience here which actually meant that we took away some of the things that were going to do we pushed them back and we thought we have to talk about this this was the headline reports of the 1st confirmed coronavirus chase in the engine refugee camps is a major cause for concern that stopped us in our tracks what are you hearing few of the sources because youve been reporting on the hinge if as many yes. Well femi all the refugees who ive been speaking with the past few months you know theyve been traumatized as it is and they were terrified of the prospect that the coronavirus the cove at 19 would be entering the camps and they were doing everything they could to try to prevent the spread but they understood that it was a reality that they werent going to be able to escape so it was really a matter of when and not if i of course was checking every few days with refugees on the ground with folks like Louise Donovan whos on our panel today with u. N. H. C. R. With other aid workers there about reports that were coming out from coxs bazaar and you know it was terrible news i mean this is a population that is one of the most persecuted minorities in the world they have experienced unfathomable violence they have had the kind of atrocities committed against them that youd be hard pressed to believe even when we hear about them in person from the people they were committed against and now there they have this threat unlike any other threat that they faced before cope at 19 and at a time when you know the internet has been shut down in around the camps in coxs bazaar since last september i believe largely shut down i should say does come back from time to time that just scared them more because they wondered how they were going to get the correct kind of information to try to combat the spread of the disease they wondered how they were going to contact relatives both inside the camps and also relatives back in myanmar and they wanted to try to get the worlds attention as far as the kind of threat that theyre facing and let people know how scared they are of of you know what kind of a toll this could take on their population. This is saying i know that i just was getting ready for 19 what about the refugee settlements what did you put in place now and how the 1000 was probably going to happen among the trinity that lived very close together. Yeah actually i would like to begin with. What expression. Means to display that in that easy beginning. And who have their part to cycle on and. I personally pilled are left undone till these people go back to be at home leg incipient dignity that the school is in the main and we should better seek it do their will solution and bit and not cheap our pockets but since the corbett has already been detected in the camp on or genetically. Embark on this issue. Actually the government of bangladeshis pulled me out of the hardest. Mission in the on the edge of the inca and accordingly the government acted in a timely manner and to scale it up and has meant we the un is in says mrs amy i just interrupt you i know this is very important you get this information over but i believe you are reading a statement and this is a a live conversation so i am going to ask you just very simply can you just tell us without what were going to your notes what was the biggest challenge you had to address in the with your 3 g. Camps without reading on or are meant. To stop. The outbreak in dhaka but we also know that. Im so weak books happy. We couldnt afford not to stop it so now we are the entire meaning in a medical treatment or a suspect had while so we are still caucusing on the isolation and all those people. And maybe theyre our colleague im un the she would be there they give more details on the hartley are actually doing thank you absolutely so its a louise im just looking here at the u. N. H. C. R. This is something that you put out in your feed an annual social Media Outreach the u. N. A. C. R. In bangladesh this is the 1st in cuts is bizarre and youve got banks here. This also one of the 1st testing labs in bangladesh we learned from a show that we did quite recently was actually in coxs bizarre so here are the preparations and preparations before we heard about this 1st outbreak but here is one of the most recent headlines that were actually sharing here on aljazeera dot com 15000 under quarantine as coronavirus cases rise the really close to. Whats going on. Who are you and as you mentioned the trieste was referring to the inauguration of the 1st 2 sorry i so these are severe acute respiratory infection isolation and Treatment Facilities the entire humanitarian community in support of the governments is working to establish Trial Centers that would be used for to treat patients both are going to be refugees and local bangladeshi population who are showing my age disappears and sun sets so we have opened the doors of centers and entry just to cases where where its confirmed in the refugee camps we have been working around the clock for the past 3 months to make sure that the scientists can be opened in time obviously were trade concerns refugees are a concern but the number is a pretty good one there theyre high population density within the towns there were on treatment to some unseen straining distribution need soon so how Frontline Health workers is going on round the clock and you mentioned the egyptian acquiring team thats in the cards there are if there are additional measures ongoing terms of messaging just particularly in areas where there are classes of cases just for people to be more aware and to to minimise them within the camps and but in terms of their acquirement you know the moment there are just over a 100 people who are actually contacts of country cases who are in crime scenes and with. This is a good question about social distancing yes. He said i might yet again they know. Who had. Discussed the. Absolutely mr hussain you got session and then how did you pick up right at the end go ahead just as aine. Jenny he mentioned that the internet. Hes got. This is not the. Illegal mission depart hes still there and he does move down up a communication and going up people. Get a comic get inside and also even embarked on a heart we have done based on generalising mrs lincoln i know if i ever met you i just cant just double check that to mean i knew hearing from Friends Family colleagues who were in daily in just sentiments im hearing that they feel an intimate connection to in no i didnt. Know any man and. For me i can just say that the refugees who i you know im in contact with as much as i can be as i said before the internet is largely shut down it comes and goes there are times itll be on for a few days but most of the time what i hear from the refugees who try to connect online a lot of times they will trek up hillsides and they will try to get a 2 g. Signal and that is the way that they will communicate with the outside world. If i could also pose a question to mr hussain since he was addressing this you know there have been a lot of Rights Groups that have been critical of bangladesh because of you know what they call it internet shutdown and i wanted to ask you know why is the situation as it is in those camps is there any thought to perhaps restoring it at a time when the government is facing increased criticism for that. Yeah the egg. Is the highest part of us we need to pork theyre not sending had lingered hand was on the Horse Community as well so what the pill unless and the mechanic is pound out to effectively. Diagnose and people that this situation should be bale and also we are not very much sure there how many were in india where they actually using high Speed Internet and or what i pop benefited there were driving problem in town the debt is also not there not. Sure but i have discreetly tell juncture there are many missing. While so on or being so you only have plenty big gallons book big light danger ponder see. If it is my actual. Mr johnson this is why we are delighted that you are with us we really appreciate that each tune is anything that you would like to ask mr the same regarding their hinge or the settlements where they are right now are for ian or rowing or myself in our. Government and the people of while allowed us have given us a shelter where we were slain for our general sight we will never forget it it is you know our model and overwhelm you know they are free seeing and with. Occlusion and theyve given us a shelter. You know. We appreciate hospitality and generosity to the ruling our people. But as we are free in seeing many you know. We have seen we are our only face in corbin 1000 we recently we were lucky you know we saved from. Cyprus and you know there are many of us we are facing but this government this time they should concede out of their support we maintain its really important to get their information out and into allowing. General survive us to. You know to have a the internet is a very important window i think i think which i think weve i think weve addressed in a way that mr singh feels that theres an anough sandwich out there and overseeing the refugees feeling that not that perspective that theyre having trouble using the internet the reason why this is so important is because how are we learning about 19 how do we keep ourselves safe how do we protect each other a lot of the information is 700 on 9 the reason we bring you in here a couple of questions from twitter for you mark dr who says its really difficult to social distance effectively after a fight sanitation especially depose disposal of waste water etc so impossible water to residents in refugee camps insufficient supplies is always hard to do and then another just hear from the hussein was a journalist hes working cos its bizarre isnt that a lot of people in the markets right now they were doing each speak no social distances do people have enough information about 1000 louise and just screwed up is anybody can see this this is not 6 feet this is not this is a party louise. And i thing. Just referring to the 1st question about. Hygiene promotion access to possible. We have as i said been working with governments on all humanitarian 26. 00 to increase so distributions since march and also to such more than a style its a facility its all around it comes our activities have been crystal lifesaving activities in a naturist of. Public health and paris and so reduce the number of humanitarian workers going into the camps and so we have been we have been able to continue distributions and we quite option as i mentioned at the beginning this is small it was dense if you cops in the words we have more than 40 kinds of People Living rest where commerce or social distancing is very very challenging we have a sub axis of all our distribution points so places where refugees go crazy lets go to the russians or to other distributions i am however in day to day life it is challenging i think. This is why i like to highlight the efforts of refugees themselves making to spread information to raise awareness from their own communities huge network of refugee volunteers whove been going door to door expressing messages whove been developing posters whove been spreading messages microfilms must and i think that this was a very positive in which theyve really mobilized and shown how. To protect their communities but of course in such a to unstick up its very very challenging. I mean also you know neal how are you to imagine the refugees who are making themselves how did you go 1st and sustain you pick up off the back. I would just say for me the yeah i would concur with what louise was saying i mean one of the things ive been trying to do the past couple of months is showcase in some of the reporting im doing. Even though im not there on the ground what the refugees are doing and how the community is coming together despite all the obstacles to try to find solutions to try to prevent the spread of covert 1000. 00 you had youth activists in the camps that were putting on seminars showing people how to properly wash their hands you our videographers that are there that are putting together a film showing children how to practice social distancing you have others who are writing songs about how to stop the spread of covert 19 so. You know when you factor in just how much there are going to have been through when you see that kind of resilience it really is its just all inspiring. This is a man at this rate it is Human Rights Watch you find the age bangladesh prove it 19 age limits in pay and peril the reheat i believe that is a limited number of n. G. O. S that you are allowing into. Can you can you clarify for me Human Rights Watch saying that the reduction of ngo how this is not to be a good thing at this time in actually after the decade is it based on mismatch from what we have done who. Had it in this one sort of. Camp we actually have. 11 emergency is in that camp but what we have done the same we have met that human it and it has his chance. To get this is why some people outside of the heck if it is wise. To be says hostility in this sold in this is that reality actually. I was going was like. As always id like to this on yahoo respond to mr kinzer request. That. He done it in this call because i know why hes admitted this request in part i understand that hes asking it. Been published on. A community but personally i dont feel that the internet is not. To communicate messaging and now that we have all heard you and the mic on his woman who wins in a party or targeted community make a community missing heart we have been. Saying mr doesnt know what youre going back to reading again which again im going to push you not i know a lot i know whats out there but let me put let me put this to you this is from. A tweet an hour and a hand thats cool particular hinges in office you know the perspective here the greatest challenge into thinking and managing the outbreak is the internet blackout that bangladesh has imposed to reinject chance since 2929000 there is pushback mr im going to leave it there unless you want to make a commitment to have a hinge in this resettlement camps that you can turn the internet today you could actually turn it on today you know to write more day i dont know any other. Yet here as as i mentioned to you in the beginning that we have. We have won the temple. Internet you are literally in insisting you can party you could actually increase the speed you could do it whenever you wanted to why wouldnt you do it lets do it its quite late right now but you could do it tomorrow it could be this week why would the internet yeah i know him because i had circumstances. Not a but a but are you telling me out there he has a you have a day one that you explain what you want is a minute by use up the internet there you are up so i go get in this mr nothing we heard you earlier so were going round a little bit in circles i hear you. Will disagree with you all right let me just bring in sharp dean who arrived quite recently in cots its bizarre i know how and youve been reporting for so long on the situation in myanmar situation in coxs bizarre where are the refugees are based right now and this is an experience that sharp went through to get to cuts is bizarre just to remind everybody whats going on. The knowledge of looking for somebody who are 510. 00 in total on the boat including kids we ran out of food within 5 days after we sailed off the boat out there want to jog sure that. We survived by drinking salty water the traffickers gave us one piece of best get and a few drops of water sometimes we didnt get any food for many days women and young people were starting to die from the lack of food money why we still reporting on this this crisis that gets worse every time we come back and do an update whats gone wrong with the way the International Community operates was literally not doing right with our journalism or how are people reacting to it what what how would you analyze why we continue to have to come back to hinge a crisis. I mean its a great question and i wish i had an answer because quite frankly as a journalist as a human being i dont understand why the International Community largely ignores the plight of the ring me awake at night at times i just i dont get it theyve suffered so much theyre living in such dire circumstances there have been so many testimonies given. You know theres been so much reporting done yes the story is largely uncovered and i feel fortunate to work for a net that covers it pretty extensively but the stories are out there and in a time where you constantly hear about never again that the world is never going to let Something Like this happen again and it keeps happening and they were hanged are still suffering and what you just showed is a prime example these are. That depending on who youre hearing it from have either left me and more or have tried to. To get to malaysia and they pay smugglers take them on these fishing trawlers and starting in mid april given several boats that weve heard about from different groups that have been stuck with hundreds of Rohingya Refugees on them out at sea and you know there are some boats that have approached the coastline of bangladesh have been rescued by bangladeshis navy and allowed back into bangladesh but 1 there are still apparently hundreds of rohingya that were being trafficked on smuggling boats out there at sea and theyre being turned away by Different Countries and its its just its appalling its shocking. Seeing wreaths so we knew that she was doing which is a photography competition soon within the hinge on sentiment city he scanned night with people who are leaving. Im going to leave that hes coming in some of the peaches. Now in the camps a lot of energetic young with men and women who are effectively citizen journalists refugees not citizens so i thought this would be the perfect time to hold this competition and get these guys involved what the competition will do is the firing of voices photography can be a very powerful medium of communication and given the cut off from them there is a need for us to understand what is happening from their cells i also hold this competition will result in. All the times a snapshot of. This crisis documented by themselves it will lead. Us to get a deal the impact of the persecution that faced in myanmar and where that has put them now so even with these laws and social distancing what 40 grass do is bring us together despite the distance. And awfully we can imagine and work for a better future. Thank you gas for contributing to this very important addition of the stream we really appreciate all of you and also one comment here from you so valuable so ill do one for the reason joe what bangladesh has done has been doing is a unique case no country in the world would be eager to do it and so watching this absent of the street scene x. To take. Throughout history him and current has come together in our darkest moments this is a moment for pretty much the opposite where retreat from the world can actually save every generation as its moment this one is ours.
