Since the conflict, Oxfam has been helping thousands of people to rebuild their lives. Working with partners, we've provided humanitarian assistance to around 40,000 people through our public health and hygiene promotion work. This has included distributing hygiene kits, food, medicine and household items.

We've also been repairing buildings such as schools and kindergardens, and providing medical care as well as rehabilitating water and sanitation facilities.
