"We thank YFCA, which is keen to provide our basic needs of safe drinking water, which makes me happy when I see my children drink safe water and quench their thirst." Razzaz Abda Ibrahim Khamis said.
 Razzaz Abdo Ibrahim Khamis, one of many displaced people in Western Sahda camp B, is the head of a family that consists of 16 members; six men, four women, three boys and three girls. Like all IDPs, and due to the existing conflict, Razzaz and his family live in hard conditions, as they have struggled to provide basic needs such as food and water.
Western Sahda camp B is located in Sahda area - south of Qataba and next to many other IDP camps. The camp’s condition is substandard. The inhibitors are suffering from a lack of basic services provisions, such as lack of food and water provision. Besides, the camp is located far away from all the water sources in the area, no governmental water project reached the camp, and the residents cannot afford the high price of water. Regarding this situation, they have no way but to wait for the humanitarian assistance provided by the humanitarian organizations or philanthropists.
To mitigate the suffering, YFCA being funded by YHF implemented the water trucking activity in which it supplied 20,000 liters per day of potable water for almost 1124 beneficiaries for three months to ten water points at three camps. Those camps are Western Sahda, which sheltered refugees, Western Sahda B, and Naqil Alshaim which sheltered IDPs.
This service had mitigated the suffering of the targeted IDPs, letting them feel safe dignified and valuable. On the other hand, it was reflected prominently in the improvement of their health status and personal hygiene. Particularly, Razzaz Abdo Ibrahim Khamis felt glad to access safe water which is not only one of the basic needs but the most important one. As well as his family was happy to access water easily and save time and effort of traveling far distances fetching water.
