During the visit to Konna displaced communities in the Southern province of Mali we find out that all the communities are overcrowded and the facilities provided by UN Agencies and other humanitarian agencies are not enough. As a result there is serious outbreak of diseases within these communities there is therefore a need for an urgent humanitarian assistance in the form of food, medication, shelter water wells and educational facilities in other to alleviate the suffering of displaced in this camps.
