Inga Dams - Displaced People

Thousands of people were displaced by the Inga Dams in the 1970s and 1980s. Many were resettled to Camp Kinshasa. Once a work camp for dam workers, it is now home to displaced people, former project workers, and their children. Conditions are reported to be dire in the camp, with a single tap serving as the only water source for 10,000 people.
