Anne Marie Nikuze, a 60-year-old resident of the camp, shared her distress saying, “While I was trying to empty the house of my valuables, I couldn’t save my most precious items: my tokens to receive various humanitarian assistance. The little we had has also gone up in flames.”
Furaha Mulema Mariam, a 42-year-old mother of four, expressed relief that the fire occurred during the day: “The only luck is that it happened during the day, if it had been at night we would all be dead. We escaped the recent bomb attacks and now, it’s the fire that has struck us.”
