The water and sewage services in the camps are poor and rapidly deteriorated due to the absence of proper infrastructure elements and inadequate water supply sources. Lack of long term planning, absence of proper municipal connections, as well as lack of proper storm water drainage characterizes the constructed sewers and water distribution systems.
