1. The refugee crisis
Sure, the war scenes are a humanitarian crisis to begin with, but the refugee crisis is just as bad. Millions upon millions of people have fled their native countries seeking help, support and peace only to find themselves in a location where bombs don’t drop, but you’re not properly taken care of either.
There are over 60 million refugees now, many of whom live in camps with little amenities. Such places pose a large threat to people’s health and they are possible outbreak scenes should diseases find their way inside the camps. Health workers take care of refugees in such camps, but there are many other places, particularly war scenes, where they cannot take care of everyone and where the risks are even higher.
That being said, these were the 10 biggest health problems in the world in 2016.
