It is estimated that over 600,000 people are displaced, living in makeshift camps and temporary settlements. These people are in desperate need of emergency shelter, food, clean water, and medical aid.
Human Appeal International is on the ground and has started to distribute vital aid. With the rising numbers of displaced people, the needs for temporary shelter are ever increasing.
