IDPs in Hospital - 05






The UN said on Monday (May-25) that there are 66,000 pregnant women living at the relief camps and many of them are likely to give birth in the next three months.

According to a UN report, 66,000 pregnant women live at the camps of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), and most of these women are in the advance stage of pregnancy. Officials are concerned for the welfare of these women as lack of facilities and very few trained medics at the camps might cause serious health problems.

Women and children have been the worst victims, with many of them landing up at the government relief centres for help.
