Other refugees complained of the lack of
water as the boreholes dug by UN agencies
have long since broken or dried up. “We
have to walk for hours to just get to the
water wells and return late in the day. Along
the route we are approached by men
wanting to take advantage
of us.”
The suffering in the camps could almost be tasted. “We were people of the Quran. We would read it every
Friday morning. Many of the attacks on our villages took place while we were in mosques reading the Quran.
Since we fled we have not been able to read the Quran.
It brought peace to our heart. Can you help bring some Qurans for us to read and Islamic history and
jurisprudence books to help us teach our children,” Hassen Saeed, a refugee in the Danamaja camp near
Gore told us.
