Since being relocated to the camp, Amo isn’t able to work as a casual labourer and has no means of income. She used to spend hours picking up broken pieces of bamboo to cook the family meals.

"Myanmar: Fuel helps displaced people in Rakhine to cook their food"
More than 100,000 people displaced in 2012 by intercommunal violence in Rakhine State Myanmar are still living in camps. Their movements outside the camps are restricted. They have limited access to resources, something even as basic as fuel for cooking.
Since June 2014, the ICRC has been providing fuel sticks made from local rice husk to families in camps in the townships of Pauktaw and Myebon, close to the State capital of Sitwe.
