Relocate the internally displaced persons or IDPs to enough piece of land where they can cultivate some food, Community Empowerment for Rehabilitation and Development Human Right officer urges Yei Local Government.
 
Benson Khamis Soro says keeping the IDPs in the camp makes them more dependent on humanitarian aid, Radio Easter reports.
 
He suggests that the County Relief and Rehabilitation Commission cooperates with the local authorities to find enough land for the IDPs to cultivate during the rainy season.
 
Arkangelo Sebit Manyang, County Relief and Rehabilitation Coordinator describes aid to displaced people in Yei as ‘irregular’.
 
He agrees on the suggestion for their relocation due to lack of complete peace in their places.
 
On Monday, Internally displaced people from Wonduruba received food aid for the first time since they fled their homeland last October due to conflict.
 
About 4,000 IDPS from Wonduruba, Maridi and Mundri with many of them children and women are in Yei.
 
Most of the displaced peopled people are surviving on casual work, says Pitialee Paul, chairperson of Wonduruba IDPs.
 
Radio Easter is looking forward to meet municipal authority for comments.
