COVID-19 has had an unprecedented effect on people all around the world and Bangladesh is no exception. Since the virus was first reported in the country, many people already have died from the disease. An inescapable reality of the pandemic are the devastating effects of social distancing, isolation and other measures on people's lives, especially those of the poor. A large number of people in Dhaka are homeless and they have nowhere to go. People living under the poverty line are mainly concerned about food and survival. They are afraid that hunger might kill them before the virus does.
