With Bangladesh grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic, dengue poses a great threat to the country’s children. At present, severe dengue affects most Asian countries and has become a leading cause of hospitalizations and deaths among children as well as adults in these regions, according to WHO. In such dire circumstances, some Dhaka residents are lighting mosquito-repelling incenses even during the day to steer clear of the mosquito-borne viral disease.
The photos were taken at the children’s ward of Holy Family Hospital and Suhrawardy Udyan, both in Dhaka, on Thursday.
