The town of Kabala in northern Sierra Leone has no safe water supply, and there are no latrines or water facilities in the camp for internally displaced persons (IDPs) there, HACU reports.
The food situation is under control since upland rice was recently reaped and swamp rice is to be harvested soon, but an inter-agency mission that visited Kabala on 23 November found that there were IDPs and other vulnerable groups in and around the town without money to buy food.
Up to 1,500 IDPs have recently registered in the camp, and others are waiting to do so, HACU says.
