good education what kept them together was their love for each other and the
knowledge that each of them had humanitarian organizations such as the
United Nations and other nonprofits provided internal refugees at the camp
with food the young girls were lucky enough to get food portions on most days
there were days when there was barely enough food for everyone at the camp

younger children life would soon become more difficult in the camp where F : to
