Kamali added that the displaced people first took refuge in an Anglican Church on Tuesday and Wednesday, before the Rwanda Red Cross and the district gave them plastic sheeting to construct temporary shelter.
"We call upon charitable organisations to help in resettling these people, all their property was destroyed so it calls for a new beginning,” said Kamali.
