Dr. Murat Erdogan - Turkey and Covid-19: Don’t forget refugees

Dr. Murat Erdogan - Turkey and Covid-19: Don’t forget refugees

It has been more than 3 months since the first COVID-19 case was detected in Turkey. Government efforts have kept number of deaths relatively low and the health system so far appears to be coping reasonably well. However, real challenges in managing the pandemic remain. One of the most acute challenges relates to Turkey’s vast refugee and migrant population. The number of Syrian refugees, asylum seekers from a range of countries, and irregular migrants in the country surpasses 5 million. Most of them lead precarious lives in difficult circumstances, making them particularly vulnerable to contracting and spreading the virus. The Turkish government needs to consider the specific circumstances and needs of this population. Bearing in mind that COVID-19 does not recognize borders — and that protecting refugees is an international responsibility — improved international cooperation is urgently needed. It would be unrealistic to expect Turkey to address these challenges alone. Turkey will need additional resources. But funding is not the only avenue of burden-sharing. These are exceptional times. The COVID-19 pandemic has turned countries inward, exacerbating prospects for international cooperation.
