Summary

KuKu is temporary camp built by UNHCR and placed under local authority administration on Jemaja island which belongs to Martak archipelago. I  lived for a month with about 300 other people in this camp under horrible living conditions: no food distributed, no medical assistance provided, and our women were regularly sexually abused by Indonesian soldiers. Consequently, by the time we were picked up by UNHCR, four refugees had already died and  been buried in this remote island.
