"Protected" camps or villages were set up in Northern Uganda by the government near Ugandan army installations, in order to decrease the vulnerability of civilians living in isolated rural areas to attacks and abductions by the Lord's resistance Army. Tens of thousands of displaced people have fled the countryside and set up temporary homes in the camps, but crowded conditions and lack of food and sanitation facilities have rendered the population vulnerable to death from malnutrition and disease. The residents remain vulnerable to attacks by the LRA.
