Sierra Leone: UNHCR tests anti-malaria tool in refugee camps

In a bid to fight malaria among refugees in West Africa, the UN refugee agency has started testing new anti-malaria tools in two refugee camps in southern Sierra Leone. Under a project co-funded by the European Commission’s Humanitarian Aid Office, more than 16,000 refugees in Largo and Tobanda camps are taking part in a trial of insecticide-treated plastic sheeting.
