JAKARTA – For years, Afghan refugees have taken shelter in the building
belonging to the Indonesian Armed Forces’ Military District Command in
Kalideres in West Jakarta. They live on assistance because they cannot work.
They have no
access to proper housing and sanitation. Javed Mohammadi (21), one of the
refugees, says there are only three toilets for hundreds of refugees. They have
to stand in long queues to use the toilet.
“Just imagine how hundreds of people share three toilets,” said Javed when met by ACTNews in his tent, Monday (8/30/2021).
