Life difficult in Kambia

    ABIDJAN

    In a similar visit to northern Kambia District on Wednesday, the
    delegation found extensive damage to infrastructure, which has made the return of IDP's difficult.

    Much of the district, north of Port Loko, is under the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) control. Schools are not functioning in the thinly populated town whose medical facilities are provided by MSF. Medicines are also supplied to clinics in remote villages.

    The document was prepared by the National Committee for Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (NCDDR) and the UN Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL).
