In Blama, ACF has completed construction of 200 emergency latrines, and the installation of one water tank. However, the government announced that it will relocate IDPs in Blama, so ACF will have to redo its efforts in a new camp. In Kenema, ACF foresees problems with water supply in the Lebanese School and Fonikor IDP camps if the government goes through with its plan to increase the total population of these camps to 30,000 people. ACF may helicopter in a drilling machine to Kenema to dig more boreholes. ACF is considering expanding it water and sanitation activities to the Yele region.
Food distributions continue in most IDP camps in Freetown and upcountry.
However, relief agencies are concerned about food security in the coming months. HACU reports that the situation in Bo and Kenema is very critical. Kenema will run out of food for IDP distribution by the end of May. There is still some food aid in Bo, and aircraft can fly there. Food stocks are being held in Conakry in reserve for future food needs in Sierra Leone.
