It is located 16 kilometres (10 mi) west of the town of Adjumani.
Refugees pay high tuition fees which many cannot afford, exacerbated by insufficient scholarships and vocational training opportunities.
Parents often sell their food rations to supplement school fees.
This leads refugees to walk long distances to access potable water in the nearby communities where they have to pay or risk tensions with the locals.
Access to health services is also limited for both the refugees and the host community, due to the long distance to the health center operating outside the settlement, with refugees traveling up to 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) to reach the facility.
