The refugees, made up of 42 Burkinabes and 46 Ivorians, arrived from Daloa. This last batch brings to 213 the number of refugees so far registered in the district due to the crisis in the Cote d'Ivoire, Mr Stephen Adu, Dormaa District Co-ordinator of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) told the GNA in an interview.

He said NADMO, Dormaa District Assembly and Brong-Ahafo Regional Co-ordinating Council were making efforts to convey the Ivoriens to the Bole Chache refugee camp in Northern Region and the Burkinabes to Burkina Faso. Mr. Mihete Pale, 56, a spokesman of the refugees, said more refugees were expected to arrive in the country since the crisis had intensified.
