Prisoners suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, and skin problems are unable to receive proper medical treatment in prison, and their families are not allowed to visit more than once a month, making it difficult for them to get their regular medications.

“The AA soldiers also helped us with rebuilding our houses. The AA tries to facilitate and build as many temporary houses as possible,” said a Minbya resident.
