Imagine waking up to the sound of gunfire and shelling. You are scared. You frantically pack up whatever you can find; clothes, a few possessions, and some food. You rally your loved ones and escape under the noise of continuous bombardment - only to find the risk of COVID-19 waiting for you.
This is the situation of thousands of families in Azad Kashmir, along the Line of Control, who are forced to leave their homes and migrate. These families are now living in refugee camps a few kilometers from the Line of Control, battling not just hunger, but now also the risk of coronavirus.
