IDP camps "marginally affected"

    NAIROBI

    The IDP camps seem to be marginally affected so far by the recent floods in the Greater Khartoum area, OLS northern sector reported. It said NGOs with projects in five camps of Wad el Bashir, Jabel Awalia, Karton Kassala, As Salaam and Mayo have already engaged in flood mitigation plan by digging trenches, stocking the hospitals with drugs, chlorinated water and positioned plastic sheeting. "The damage so far does not seem to
    warrant dramatic action." However, judging from last year, the situation may quickly revert to a serious crisis, especially if the rains in Kordofan and Ethiopia continue at the present rate, OLS warned. Meanwhile, UNICEF reported an outbreak of severe watery diarrhoea in Mayo camp.
