Genocidal marches weaponized the environment so survivors faced disease and camps

Evidence

Extermination “Within months, the Euphrates and Tigris rivers became clotted with the bodies of Armenian women and children, polluting the water supply for those who had not yet perished. Dysentery and other diseases were rampant and those who managed to survive the march found themselves in concentration camps.” — Gregory H. Stanton, Ten Stages of Genocide, 22
