Fouzia Issaq Abdirahman with his son named Abdullahi Noor Muqtaar,8 years old.

Fouzia fled Somalia with her sister who was in forced marriage. She run away and told Fuzia refused to marry the man whom he has reported her and she feared to be beheaded. They fled to Kakuma and decided to stay. Then they moved to Dadaab in 2008.

In June, her son Abdullahi was raped in the camp. Abdullahi has developed loneliness does not eat with his brothers. He sleeps alone and covers himself with empty sacks. He has turned violent of late and has started drinking his brother’s milk and when confronted he said he will commit suicide. Fouzia has then taken him to the health post and that is how she was referred to the hospital to the mental health unit.

Abdullahi is the third Fouzia's children who faced sexual violence. She says:
"I have developed insomnia and hardly sleep. And if I do I have wild dreams that force me up. I rarely close my eyes to sleep. After the latest incident, in addition to lack of sleep I have developed body tremors and shaking and have kneck pains."

Regarding the camp closure announcement:
"My kids are in schools. I am also sick. I don’t feel happy and ok with camp closure now. There are many others of my situation as well. I don’t know the solution but my message is there are many poor like me. We are settled peacefully. It’s not good if it is closed. Somalia trip will be hard for me because I am sick and don’t want to fall on empty place. I don’t want to lose my boys badly as well."
