Staden med de bortglömda flyktingarna

Dadji is a young mother from PK 13 in Bangui. She fled the violence 3 years ago to Chad. Dadji and her children decided to return to Kaga Bandoro recently. They haven’t received any food assistance for four months now.

"When we arrived we were given food, but since then nothing. We are forced to fetch wood from the bush and sell it to get something to eat.

We need help. Where we are, we don't have a school or a hospital.
The international community has forgotten us. For four months we have not received any help.

I am afraid because we are not safe, even in this camp. All over the country, when we sleep at night, we are afraid." Dadji said.

Ten-year-old Osama has not known any other life than being a refugee. He was born two months after his family fled to Za’atari camp in Jordan in 2012.

“When the situation in Syria deteriorated I had no choice than to leave to get my family to safety,” says Osama’s father, Mohammad, 49. “I through we would return after two months but did I never imagined 10 years would pass by and we would still be refugees.”

Osama only knows Syria through the story of his parents. In fact, he has never even met any of his relatives living in Syria. “I show him the videos they send on WhatsApp to me and I tell him who everyone is,” says Mohammed.

“My dad tells me about his childhood in Syria, what our house was like and about my grandfather and that he was a very good man. He always tried to help people and I wish I had met him before he died,” says Osama. “I like to look at pictures of him and see the farm where my dad grew up.”

“My son, Osama, can’t even dream of the future because he has lived in limbo his entire life. I encourage him to study and do sports and take any training opportunity he can get but I really don’t know what type of future he will face if we remain refugees,” Mohammad concludes.

Displaced by conflict in 2014, Sidamari had to flee from her home in Hong to Cameroon. She and her two children at the time were forced to stay in the bushes for many nights with only 200 naira at her disposal.

"I used to teach in a private school then, and things were okay for us. They (Opposition Armed Groups) came in the morning on that day and the only thing we could do was run."

It was so bad she could not feed her then 5 months old child. It was just her and her two year old child at the time that had to flee.

Now, she is back to Mubi where there is relative calm with her family and is one of our Education Facilitators.

"I am happy doing this job especially when i know that the children understand what i am teaching them"

She's glad to be a part of the NRC family.

“Comparing the school general condition now and last year, you can tell a lot has changed to the better; now there are windows and doors and we are not sitting on the floor any longer since NRC provided desks and tables. Also improvements in the way the teacher explained information helped us understand them in a better way and the new learning spaces made us love school and willing to attend it every day”. *Khalil Student –5 grade – Harasta school

Hundratusentals blev hemlösa på ett ögonblick

Rachel is twenty-years-old and lives with her parents, siblings and her 2-year-old daughter (name: Guylaine). She became pregnant when she was 17 with a boy from her village, but he disappeared when he revealed that she was expecting his child. Since August 2018, Rachel has been attending the NRC tailoring class in Kitchanga. These courses will last six months. After training, her dream is to start her own tailoring shop and to be able to give her daughter an education to in the future. She loves tailoring and she has made dresses for herself and her daughter. Before she was selected for the NRC tailoring class, she had nothing to do and now she is very happy to be able to attend the classes.

Rachel is from the village Ngingwe, Masisi territory, which is six kilometers from Kitchanga in the North Kivu province. She and her family had to flee during the night four years ago when the clashes broke out between armed groups. They travelled the whole night and reached Kitchanga in the morning. Rachel was very afraid when she had to flee and during this violence where she lost her grandmother and uncle. She misses them a lot. Rachel is still constantly afraid, and does not want to go back home until it’s safe. Since the attack, some people from the village have been back home to pick up food and their belongings, but they cannot sleep there, as the situation is still unsafe. Rachel has not been back home in Ngingwe since she and her family fled their home.

Rachel does not feel safe in Kitchanga either. She is scared that armed groups will enter Kitchanga and take over the town in the future. She does not feel well about being a displaced youth in Kitchanga. It is a big challenge for her because she is sometimes neglected. Since she also a single mother, people austersize her.

There’s also a lack of food in Kitchanga, and Rachel does not have enough money to pay school fees, therefore she dropped out of school after second grade in secondary school. Rachel also struggles to pay for health care and clothes for her daughter. After tailoring class, she usually helps her mother to do some household activities, for instance, fetching water and cooking dinner.

Coronavirus: Det här gör vi

NRC Flyktinghjälpen jobbar intensivt med att hindra smittspridning av coronaviruset i områden med sårbara människor på flykt. Parallellt fortsätter vi arbetet med att rädda liv.

The protracted crisis in the Donbas region of Ukraine is well into its sixth year. The contact line continues to separate Government controlled area (GCA) and Non-Government controlled area (NGCA) of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. This separation isolates much of the population in GCA from important services and livelihood providers in urban centres in NGCA. Along the 427-kilometre contact line, there are five open exit-entry checkpoints (EECP) in Hnutove, Novotroitske, Marinka, Maiorsk and Stanytsia Luhanska, where internally displaced and conflict-affected people cross to visit relatives, buy food and other goods, receive social payments and check on their property.

Since the opening of these EECPs, the number of people crossing the contact line continues to grow. Every month, there are about 1,3 million people recorded crossing through all five of the EECPs. Long queues and correspondingly, long waiting times at checkpoints continue to be reported. During their journey to cross the contact line, very often people face difficult weather conditions and slow processing times. These civilians who cross the contact line have limited access to basic services such as drinking water, latrines, weather shelters, heating, and medical care.

Fatoumata, 67 and her family moved several times to escape from armed attacks. Originally from Sigue-Raguin, she fled the first time to seek safety in Foubé. But the executions and threats continued and they had to flee from Foubé to Kaya.

"The armed men have chased us away from our homes and killed our loved ones. That’s why we fled and came here. We don’t have any food, we don’t have a roof over our head, we have nothing at all. We are asking for assistance." She said.

"We left yesterday and arrived here today. We haven’t eaten anything since the sun rose.

Just the day before yesterday, 6 people were caught and killed while they were on the road. After this, the attackers went to… I don’t remember where, but so many people have been killed.

We were all filled with fear so we immediately took to the road and by the grace of God we were able to escape. Our wish is to settle down in peace and receive some food or any other assistance. What we need the most is some assistance and a place where we can stay. All we are praying for now is to receive some assistance." Fatoumata added.

“It was very cold inside and I thought if I go outside and walk I might feel warmer,” says Roqia, 11, standing outside her makeshift home in a snowy day in KABUL.

Rogia doesn’t have enough clothes and proper slippers to keep her warm in a cold. Her family do not have sufficient firewood to keep the oven burning all the time and they only burn it once in a day and if the weather is freezing cold, they might burn it twice in a day. They burn plastics, cartons, packets and other waste materials they have collected during the summer season.
“The house we have is out of plastic bags, blankets and mud. As soon as the oven dies the home gets cold,” she says. “It’s very cold during the night and we wakeup many times due to cold. Sometimes, I feel pain and burn in my feet, legs and back due to the cold.”
