The refugees commission is at this critical period distributing food and other essential items to refugees in parts of Katsina state to alleviate people’s sufferings. It is determined to continue reaching out to the downtrodden.
The items distributed include food and sanitary items as well as drugs.
Although most of the refugees have been reintegrated in their communities, it is obvious that getting them back on their feet will take a bit longer.
