He expressed difficulty in controlling the tides of births . According to him, It is the nature of man that even when they don’t have food to eat, they have the desire for sex

“The agency is very strict on illicit sexual affairs in the camps. It is very difficult to control the tide of births in the camps, the IDPs are human beings. It is the nature of man, even when they don’t have food to eat, they have the desire for sex; that cannot be taken away from the IDPs.

“Most of them have their families at the camps.The aspect we try to control is unmarried people sleeping with each other; other unlawful sexual acts are also forbidden in the camps” Shior said
