Families whose houses have been burnt down are especially vulnerable. This woman, whose husband was killed when fighting broke out in her village, has four children. She is living in the forest and occasionally works in her neighbours’ fields to earn a little money. She heard about the ICRC distribution from the chief of the village who was responsible for drawing up the beneficiary list in cooperation with the ICRC team in Kaga Bandoro. She is worried for her children’s health, and also by the fact that she has no resources with which to rebuild her house once the situation calms down and it is safe for people to go home.
