Wahid emphasized that to fulfill their daily needs, refugees in Indonesia often had to rely on the public’s help for their food.

To have a proper shower, they needed to go to a mosque, terminal station, or minimarket.

Wahid asked the UNHCR to take a more serious approach on how they handle refugees considering that there were 509 refugees stationed in the former military building in Kalideres.
