Liberia: communities open their hearts and doors to Ivorian refugees
Tens of thousands fled from Côte d'Ivoire to Liberia when violence broke out following the 2010 elections. But not all of these refugees choose to live in the refugee camps set up for them. Many prefer to live in host communities, even if these communities receive less assistance from humanitarian organizations.
Bawaydee has a resident population of about 1,500. Between them, they are hosting 900 refugees, so the ICRC has built a pump to handle the increasing demand for water.
