"Tuberculosis, or TB, as it is commonly known, is a curable disease and yet it continues to spread across the globe. The vast majority of TB deaths are in the developing world but the airborne illness is also making a comeback in Europe and North America. The former Soviet Union is currently seeing some of the highest numbers of multi-drug resistant TB cases ever recorded. The International Committee of the Red Cross is now working with the authorities in Azerbaijan to stem the spread of TB in prisons." ICRC
In Malaysia, refugees from Myanmar, Afghanistan and Somalia live in constant fear of detention and deportation, as there are no state mechanisms in place to protect them. Not being able to work legally and abandoned to their own means, they struggle to remain invisible to the eyes of the state, often falling into a state of non-existence. Like Kuala Lumpur, many other cities in the world are facing the challenge of accommodating the big numbers of refugees that are nowadays more and more gathering into the big cities.
