a continue to stay on others which have to accommodate 700000 refugees since 27 june and that has led to a doubling almost of the refugee population in the country is being able to call. well yes indeed this is the biggest refugee camp in the what i need to be made of the situation has improved refugees do have basic basic health habits basic education and so great by conditions die a lot of people don't have anything to do that's a lot of fear that starts tracing might lead to and might be you know that young people just having too much time on their hands is concerned that they might end up becoming radicalized even if they find about but it may happen and also one key white hate me white people the aid workers believe in the afternoon conditions on the campus actually quite insecure we've heard of this abductions of militant groups and gangs in the camps so conditions you know how to improve but it's still
4:37 pm
quite dangerous but as a lot of refugees tell us they love to stay here than have to go home at this point i just have to ask about the aid agencies that are operating in these camps do they think that they're getting enough support to be able to support that if it isn't done. now and that is a very big question as i said conditions of back so so if the pictures that we're sending out to the wells on to add ons are bad and it was as we saw 2 years ago so there's a real concern and that the conditions that happen that they won't be able to be of help next if that's among the money that's going into this crisis that's that aid agencies pay you liz a concern that they won't get an actual money if they have in the post and that they see might that the conditions in the crab might actually deteriorate not because not speaking to us from buying others thank you very much for that.
