‍Internally displaced people (IDP) camps like those in Somaliland, face high risks of acute respiratory infection transmission due to crowded living conditions and close physical contact among residents. These conditions potentially present a perfect storm of risk factors for infection🦠! 📘➡️ sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #pneumonia #humanitarian settings.#WorldPneumoniaDay2024
