<\/p>\n

A camp leader at Square 7 in Kalma internally displaced persons camp in South Darfur has denied the statements made by a camp resident on Tuesday<\/span><\/a> that the government reduced the share of fuel granted to Oxfam to transport water.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said to Radio Dabanga the accusation was ‘totally false’ and there was no reduction in they share of fuel which stands at five barrels a week.<\/span><\/p>\n

The camp leader added the share is received regularly, and there is a committee at the camp working in full coordination with Oxfam America (OA). <\/span><\/p>\n

But he said there is still a problem with water shortages due to a malfunction in the water delivery pipeline.<\/span><\/p>\n

OA also denied the water points that are suffering shortages are managed by the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

It said it is ‘sharing the responsibility of the water provision in the camp with other NGOs. OA is managing water points in sectors 5, 6 and also in sector 7 – which was managed by American Refugee Council (ARC) before -and some of these water points are still getting water from ARC boreholes.’<\/span><\/p>\n

OA stated ‘One of the community leaders in Kalma camp mentioned that they complained to ARC and they have been informed that it is due to fuel problems. <\/span><\/p>\n

OA’s WASH (Water Sanitation and Hygiene) team agreed to discuss this with the WASH team of ARC in Nyala and look for possible solutions during the coming few days.’<\/span><\/p>\n

It said ‘it has not faced any fuel permit restrictions to the camp since October 2012 – even during the recent crisis and following the death of Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) leader Khalil Ibrahim; as OA used its fuel surplus in the camp (saved as contingency stock).’ <\/p>\n
