One of the major problems at Sabaad is the lack of tree branches. The typical nomadic house is made by sticking branches into the the ground. bending and tying the branches together at the top. then covering them with straw mats (now with burlap. canvas. plastic. tarpaulin. anything which is available). The refugees have come so suddenly there has not been time to collect branches. In all the camps there are desperate needswater. sanitation facilities. food. health facilities and shelter. Agabar in the West Galbeed (northwest region) is typical. Sand and dust blow across the camp. Ten thousand tents housing 50.000 refugees stretch as far as the eye can see. looking like ant hills in the distance. Camp Agabar is located near a river. At this time of the year. though. the river is dry.
