Last week, The Well in Action has been in Wag Himra Zone administration where more than 72,000 displaced people are found due to war between Tigray forces and Federal Army as well as drought. The team of TWA visited three IDP camps, in all the three camps there is a shortage of basic needs even far below the standard of IDP camps. Thee is critical shortage of water and sanitation materials, there is no option for the people except to accept or face the situation. From the observation, there is high need of WASH Non-Food Items materials and WASH facilities to address the personal sanitation issues. Any government and non-government bodies did not think to construct temporary shade for shower. |
