A mechanical part needed replacing and no replacement had yet been found. Noxious substances oozed from the cubicles stationed around the camp. In the high summer heat, the risk to health was alarming. As if this was not bad enough, clean water was also in short supply and people claimed that they were drinking from bore holes - rough wells dug in the ground around the camp. I asked where all their animals had gone and was told that they had had to 'surrender' them, or sell them if they could, so as to carry on.
People have no money and no livelihood.
Many children have no shoes. Their clothes were full of holes. They seemed to be dressed in the same garments they wore on their backs when most of them fled from Turkey in May 1994. Nothing can be brought in to them by car. Everything must be carried by hand, the people complained.
