IDP camps in Northern Uganda is no place for children to grow up.

Many children are dying slowly of malnutrition in Northern Uganda IDP camps. These children, in a Pader District IDP camp in Sept. 2004, relied largely on the World Food Program for their nutritional needs. Recently, WFP deliveries have reduced even further. The good news is that people are growing more food, and the peace talks offer hope for an end to the war. |
