SAH LAH /MAE KONG KHA CAMP SERIOUSLY DAMAGED BY FLOODING

One of the homes destroyed in the flooding

There are 2,388 families and 15.500 people who reside in the two combined camps. On Monday September 2, 2002 at about 2:30 PM, serious flooding with landslides caused the river running through the camp to overflow and destroy 251 houses effecting 1,571 people... 233 more houses (effecting 1,510 people) were seriously damaged and 26 people killed. Among those listed as dead are 9 who were lost and could not be found. The ages of the dead range from 1 year old to 96 years old. The people with undamaged homes took in all those who lost their homes and are living in very cramped conditions. Because of damage to many homes, it is feared that many of them will quickly fall down or have to be totally re-built. There is still a high risk of further landslides threatening 2 sections of the camp (approximately 176 houses.) Due to this danger, the residents have been forced to stay in other homes, putting a strain on the host families. Public buildings destroyed include 2 high schools, 8 primary schools, four reception centers, 2 medical clinics and the camp office.
