About 270 Ivorians and Ghanaians resident in Cote d’Ivoire, fleeing the
conflict in that country, have arrived at Bole in the Northern Region.
The refugees fled through bush paths at Bole-Nsunna and the Bole-Chache
main border to Bole Mundari and Sanla. The Bole District Director of
Health Services has deployed a team of health officials to attend to the
refugees and returnees, most of who are women and children.
A contingent of military personnel from the Six Battalion of Infantry in
Tamale has also been deployed to patrol the area. Meanwhile the District
National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) has begun a
house-to-house registration of the refugees at Mandan and Fanola.
According to the District Coordinator of NADMO Joseph Jando, the
organization has taken delivery of rice and cooking oil meant for the
refugees, and appealed to non-governmental organization to donate food
items and insecticides for their upkeep.
