the project will support the road illuminations in Twehina camp, as well as the latrines illumination in Mahmoudly camp, where this has been reported as a gap within the last various coordination meetings on NES level with no capacity by the partners to fill the gap. the issue of the illuminations is linked to many protection concerns and causes difficulties in accessing the community services, whether the latrines or even moving between the tents or walking evening and nights especially for the women and children, where many accidents have been reported due to this gap in addition to raping accident occurred recently which was linked directly to this issue.
