Coronavirus: Living in a refugee camp

BBC OS Conversations

Available for over a year

Tasneem recently graduated from university. Like everyone else, her future is on hold because of coronavirus. But for Tasneem it’s a particularly uncertain time, as she’s been living in Jordan at one of the world’s largest refugee camps, since leaving Syria with her family in 2013. Host Nuala McGovern has a conversation with her and her father about life in a refugee camp during the pandemic. We also hear why Tanzania is denying its people are dying from Covid-19; and how sniffer dogs in Finland can be trained to detect the virus among passengers arriving at Helsinki airport - with unprecedented success.
