Another day and the ceasefire holds, thank God.

Today we had the meeting of all the NGO’s working in the area. We evaluated, made needs assessments and looked at the priorities. As many families are still being hosted at their relatives, we prepare for the last distribution at Ayadina tomorrow. We look for a way to reach out to all the displaced families still present and therefore prepared 500 foodparcels.

A prominent Belgian newspaper “Het Laatste Nieuws” contacted me and one of its journalists Bjorn Cocquyt asked me some questions about the past month and the relief. It is good to see that some are really interested in knowing what is going on exactly.
