Summary

[edit]
Description

Mariet, aged 30, pictured with four of her children in the Bahn camp for refugees in Liberia.

She fled the fierce fighting in Danane, western Ivory Coast in early February and walked 20km to the Liberian border with her six children, aged from 12 years to twin 10-month-old boys. She arrived at the border with absolutley nothing except her children.

Her husband works in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, but she has no idea whether he is alive or dead.

"I have not heard any news from my husband for many months. I don't know if he is safe or not. I am very worried".

Thanks to UNHCR and other partners, she has been given full support at the camp, including food for the whole family, clean fresh water and shelter.

The UK government has recently announced an urgent emergency aid package to help tens of thousands of people affected by the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Liberia and the Ivory Coast.
