Moving On | Relocation to Yusuf Batil

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has been transferring refugees from Jamam camp to Yusuf Batil camp, which has grown from 6,000 people to over 34,000 in recent weeks. Though flooding conditions are slightly better here, the onset of disease and malnutrition is not. Yusuf Batil camp remains one fastest growing camp for refugees fleeing violence and starvation in Sudan, yet the infllux of people makes for a hard time treating disease, providing sanitary conditions, and sufficient food.
