Food is scarce, so is clean water.
Malnourished children in dirty clothes seem to fill every corner of the camps and their number continues to increase, despite the impossibility of the situation. Privacy has become an alien concept and as a result women, apart from children, suffer most. Many women live in barracks full of men with no special place to attend to their female needs. Husbands and wives are under great psychological strain because lack of privacy has prevented them from fulfilling their sexual needs in a discreet manner. To an outsider, such living conditions are unacceptable, even inhumane.
