“Thank you for following up on the protocol. In our camps we have the support of the international community, and there is an international standard. People abuse everything nowadays, and people politicise everything, including insecurity for some reason.
“So when you want to come and visit the IDPs, it is a very welcome idea, but we need to know who goes in and out of the camps.
“They have been traumatised enough, so we need to protect them. Some members in the open space out there do not understand this. They feel it is an open house you just walk in and out, ” Alia said.
