WE NEED RESPONSE FOR CRISIS IN MANIPUR

The ongoing crisis in Manipur since May 3, 2023 rendered many homeless. Many villages have been burned down and more than 90 people have lost their lives. Currently, more than 30000 people are taking shelter in different places all over Manipur. There is an acute shortage of daily essentials like food, medicine, drinking water etc. which have affected ordinary civilians severely.

Shelter camps are divided into two categories:

 

The first category is those planning to move from one District to another as soon as the situation improves. Most of these internally displaced people get their shelter and protection at 7 different security personnel and Army or Security stations. Rations and daily essential needs are provided by the security/ government for the time being. However, once they move out from these camps, they will be homeless.

The second category are locals who seek shelter in camps due to danger or threats to their lives. They camp themselves in schools, community halls or temporary shelters run by CSO/NGOs. They provide their daily needs including clothing, medicines, and rations at their own capacity by raising resources amongst the community. CCI also shelters 26 people from 7 families at Malsawm Ability Resource Centre, Pearsonmun.
