Summary[edit]

Description

Bunia Prison was originally built to house 200 inmates, but today it holds over 1,000 and is severely overcrowded. Conditions are basic and sanitation is very poor. There have been reports of cases of typhoid and many inmates have serious respiratory illnesses and skin diseases. Cholera is a real danger.

Oxfam started working in the prison to help prevent a cholera outbreak - providing water and informing inmates about how to reduce the risks of disease. Before Oxfam’s intervention, the prison received just 1,000 litres of piped water a day - barely a litre per person for drinking, cooking and washing. The scarcity of water meant most prisoners were only able to wash once a week.
