This initiative aimed to assess the security situation, collaborate with local authorities, security forces, and refugee communities to enhance the protection of civilians, prevent further violence, and foster confidence among residents.

According to reports, armed individuals frequently invade the camp, engaging in activities such as firing weapons, intimidating residents, and looting or burning property. These actions have driven some refugees to seek safety by sleeping in surrounding bush areas.
In response to these threats, UN peacekeepers emphasize the importance of sustained engagement, regular patrols, and cooperation with local authorities. These measures are essential to reinstating a sense of security for families who have previously fled conflict.
