Article-Summary: 

People are confined in the camp, straying is paid for with your life, yet they have to leave the camps to get food for their families. And the rebels come into the camps too. So there is no safe place. In the camps, if the rebels don't kill you, diseases will. Hunger and poor hygiene are the bane of the camps. In the absence of water and soap, fungi has spread through the human population. Scabies cover the children's arms and hands.
