11AM Press Release

The number of people in IDP camps is growing quickly. We have received reports that tension is developing within the camps between Tumbili and Bandari factions, largely due to a food shortage.  At this time, we believe that violence in the camps is minimal, but there seems to be distrust of military and non-military organizations.  NGOs in the field are having a difficult time assuaging civil unrest.  Food and water are high demand; any NGO able to send supplies, please contact a representative from our team at maha.mian@tufts.edu to coordinate distribution.  Citizens can text requests for aid to +16176826346 or post them to http://comootros.crowdmap.com/  All requests should include specific location of need.
