The managers of the Ampain refugee camp in the Ellembele district of the Western Region say they are in dire need of food and water to feed the over 6,000 refugees.According to them, although various organizations have donated towards the upkeep of the refugees, more resources are required.Already the manager in charge of the camp, Kelly Forson has announced that the camp is almost filled to capacity with about 6,000 Ivorians admitted into the facility.Mr Forson told Citi News that a new site will soon be acquired to expand the facility but called for more assistance to sustain the camp.“It has not been easy but food, water and security are the main issues here but fortunately the World Food Programme (WFP) has been able to start with dry rationing. They have given Rice, Beans, Oil, Sugar and Salt.“We buy about 600 bags of sachet water each day and that is even not enough. At the moment we have been able to sink about six boreholes; four are manual and the other two we are mechanising. We hope that by next week this water problem would be solved”.Source: Citi
