Palestinian Tests Positive for Coronavirus in Lebanon Refugee Camp
------------------------------------------------------------------

A Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon has reported its first coronavirus
case. The Palestinian woman has since been reportedly taken to a
hospital in Beirut. At least 3,000 other refugees are housed in the
Wavel refugee camp. This comes as public health officials and human
rights advocates warn of the threat of catastrophic outbreaks in crowded
refugee camps around the world that lack sufficient sanitation and
medical supplies.
