THE CHILDREN OF THE REFUGEE CAMP

After arriving in Cape Town i have noticed the huge contrast between the rich and poor districts.
Tuesday morning i went to visit the YOUNGSFIELD refugee camp where they live in very poor conditions.
There are 68 refugees, most of them Somali.
The government of South Africa has gaven them a place to stay, but has't given them water, food, or even electricity.
We tooke 15 children from the camp aged for 3 to 13 for a day at the beatch.
The thing that most made an impression, was two children who
finished there orange drink and began to eat the plastic cup.
A bigger problem then Youngfield is the BLUE WATERS refugee camp.
This camp is the largest of Cape Town with over 600 refugees.
The government has close it and is evicting all of the refugees.
This is why the tension in the area is very hig. As 600 refugees are difficult to manage.
These refugees can't return to there homeland because of civilwar, but they can't stay in the camp because it is closed.
They have problems working because the south african population is prejudiced agains refugees.
the UN Human Right Commission may visit Blue Water in the caming weeks to decided how they can halp.
