Every time you wash your hands or flush the toilet, do you think about what the world would look like if we couldn’t easily do any of those things? For people living in conflict zones like Gaza or in the aftermath of a natural disaster like Myanmar, water and sanitation can be extremely hard to come by. Here to shed some light about the urgent need for water and sanitation in emergency situations, we speak to Wayne Chang, Emergency Water & Sanitation Coordinator with MSF, who is currently based in Myanmar.
