Within the Merced Assembly Center, the conditions weren’t salvageable. The “barracks” that the internees were living in were simple, which meant that they had no plumbing of any kind to cook or use the bathroom. This cramped lifestyle caused many infections and illnesses to be passed around easily, such as smallpox or typhoid fever. There wasn’t enough medical staff to go around, which led for big outbreaks to be uncontrollable and therefore worsen. Another big sanitation issue inside of the camps was food poisoning. The facilities failed to provide a health inspection with the food given, due to their low budget. All of the care provided was said to meet international law, which is why it wasn’t questioned any further, but the facilities left much to be desired.
