The well-being of children in Moria refugee camp is an international child health crisis, causing outrage and despair in those of us that have witnessed this first-hand.

A chatty, 4?year-old girl is brought to the emergency department (ED) by her mother with a 3-day history of fever and loose stool. They returned from Nigeria 7?days earlier, having visited friends and relatives for the school holidays. Clinical examination is unremarkable, she is currently afebrile, and there are no signs of serious bacterial infection.
