Abstract
Humanitarian assistance aims to provide a basic standard of living to the displaced people, with enough food and shelter, and to provide them with a living environment that is safe, clean and adequate, including clean water, washing and bathing facilities. In general, displaced persons rate the support they have had as good, including services provided to them such as waste disposal. However, given the length of time that has elapsed and the number of displaced persons, together with the competition with the local Thai population, assistance is being strained, and issue such as solid waste disposal is reaching crisis point. The shelters are becoming increasingly overcrowded, polluted and noisy, and tensions are rising accordingly, especially amongst young people, who are less compliant and more impatient. Measures are needed at local level to maintain and improve the environment; and the root cause of the arrival of displaced persons needs to be addressed.
