Oxfam is providing assistance to displaced people and the communities that host them in and around Nyal, both on the mainland and remote islands. With support from Irish Aid, the free canoe transportation program is offering transport to those people who need to journey to Nyal for food distributions or medical treatment. Oxfam provides vouchers for transport to those in need and train canoe operatives. The program also extends to assisting communities to seek refuge rapidly in an emergency and helps the canoe operators to earn the money they need to support their families.
