You call a safe camp not at risk of being overrun by rebels
But apprently overrun by locals is OK, even one resulting in a murder?

half a liter of drinking water per person was stated in a recent report. In a very hot climate.

Luxury.
Find me one report into the facilities that praises their conditions. Just one
When it rains, the camp smells strongly of sewage, particularly in Foxtrot Compound and near
the entrance to the detention centre. Some detainees expressed concern at not having shoes
or umbrellas, particularly when the weather is bad and it rains.
Water in Oscar Compound is now provided in 19-litre water cooler bottles located in the gym.
Two such bottles, nearly empty, stood on a table next to some plastic cups when we toured
the area. The coolers themselves had been removed.
We heard frequent complaints that the quantity of water provided in Oscar Compound was
insufficient. G4S and TSA staff reported delivering up to 12 water cooler bottles per day to
the compound, but some staff acknowledged that delays in replacing empty bottles were a
problem. A stock of new water bottles stood nearby on a palette in a fenced-off area behind
one of the buildings, but detainees do not have access to this area and said they were not
allowed to move the water bottles themselves.
In other compounds, drinking water is provided in individual 500ml bottles. Detainees in
those compounds appear to have no restrictions on the amount of water they have access to.
