why are survivors abandoning camps now?
Survivors are abandoning camps mainly due to poor living conditions such as water shortages and mild illnesses, as reported in 37 centres housing over 3,600 flood survivors. The infrastructure damage in these camps is making life difficult, prompting people to leave. Additionally, the government is planning to settle 1,200 displaced families in new multi-hazard cleared settlements, which may also influence survivors to move out of temporary camps.
