The wild animals in the vicinity of the Dadaab camp in Somali, which hosts refugees from various conflicts in East Africa, pose a danger to the organization. Experts say there has been an increase in the number of wild animals -- including one of the world's most poisonous snakes, the black mamba, and tarantulas -- in the camp, which houses around 700,000 people. Moreover, the desert climate and limited water and electricity have an effect on living conditions. Despite these hardships, Kimse Yok Mu continues to distribute food and clothing packages, as well as health care services.
Since March, Kimse Yok Mu has provided medical treatment to 50,000 inhabitants of the camp. The charitable foundation aims to lower the rate of death from malnutrition and lack of medicine with the eight health officers among its 15 volunteer workers. They also plan to build a hospital of 1,600 square meters in the town of Malindi. On average, the physicians treat 200 patients daily and are a vital resource for all people in the camp.
The charity also distributed aid to Syrian refugees in Turkey during Ramadan, and to people in 81 provinces of Turkey, as well as 70 countries worldwide. (Cihan/Todays Zaman)
