Refugees from the Ivory Coast



 The crisis in the Ivory Coast has brought refugees across the border to Liberia. A camp has been set up about 1 ½ hr away from Ganta. Several of us went to visit while it was being constructed and there were only about 650 people there. Already functioning was a school and health clinic.

The inside of each tent has two rooms with a small partition. Each is meant to hold 10 people! Now there are about 3,389 people there. The political situation there has settled down a little but the people are waiting to see.
