SOME 28_000 displaced people who have fled Angola’s ongoing civil war are living in inhuman conditions in camps at Matala, in southern Huila province, according to press reports. “It’s a desolate landscape,” said the state-run Angolan Journal in an article written by two journalists who visited the camps, around 1_000km south of Luanda. “Malnourished children, the elderly and women are wearing torn rags,” the newspaper said. At least 70 people arrive every day in the camps – near the villages of Kuvango, Chicombo and Chipindo – the report said, many having walked for days without food or water. – AFP
