Shortages of food and services for war-displaced in Wau WAU (21 Dec.) More than 1,700 displaced people at Saint Bakhita church in Wau town of South Sudan’s Western Bahr el Ghazal state are facing shortages of food and basic services, amid calls for humanitarian organizations to intervene. Speaking to Radio Tamazuj, Arkangelo Claudio, coordinator for Acted organization said the health situation in the camp is dire due to lack of drugs and treatment facilities, noting that there are nearly 230 families facing shortages. “Displaced people in the camp are suffering from lack of health facilities. There is a public health center near us but it works only during the official working hours from Monday to Friday. There is no first aid and sometimes pregnant women do not get medical care during their pregnancy,” said Claudio. Joyce Samson, representative of women in the camp said they are in dire need of assistance to help them face the challenges in the camp, adding that women need capacity building and assistance to protect their dignity. “We as women in Lokloko camp are facing many challenges. There are no any activities from women and there is no any capacity building programs for women to help themselves. Since we arrived in the camp there is no any organization that took the initiative to help women,” said Samson. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
