Rwanda peacekeepers under Rwanbatt41 deployed in UN peacekeeping mission in El Fasher, Darfur (UNAMID) supplied potable water to the 600 new IDPs in Aboja neighborhood, Al Salama IDP Camp, on 19 April 2014. The IDP Camp is about 07 Km, East of El Fasher Super Camp.
The Coordinator of the new IDPs Sheikh Mustafa Sarehe thanked the RDF peacekeepers for assisting them with water.
“We are thankful for that important assistance of water you have given us, and we are asking you to continue, because we are still in need of potable water”, said Sheikh Mustafa Sarehe.
Rwandan peacekeepers engage in this humanitarian assistance because locals as well as IDPs make long distance to fetch water and are exposed to violence and other abuses.
The most vulnerable people are women and girls who do such domestic activities.
