Severe strikes continue to inhibit all aspects of work:

• Tribunal is only working Mondays & Fridays to process ID cases
• Surgeon for an urgent medical case is on strike
• Most teachers are on strike, giving the children more time alone at home or in the street

12 current ID cases, 3 of which are newly acquired due to notification by the local school to the centre in Taroudannt. The need for help getting ID papers is now coming from outside of town; one new case is 40 km outside of Taroudannt.

Several cases of mumps among the children.

Teachers reported to Abdelkarim that the students attending the centre’s homework sessions have improved in behaviour and diligence in doing their homework.
