The displaced are Zande, the same tribe as the population of Doruma. They have been lent land in and around the village and have started to clear the forest to set up their huts and plant vegetable plots. Their huts are well dispersed and so the risk of contagious diseases is not as high as one might have feared.

Water however is a problem. There are few springs in the area; water is drawn from shallow wells most of which are open so the water quality is poor. UNICEF and Solidarités have set up water chlorination points to minimise the risk of water borne diseases, however this is at best a temporary solution and diarrhoea has already overtaken malaria as the most common complaint at the hospital. CESVI another non governmental organisation plans to come into to rehabilitate broken water pumps and build new ones.
