reflect on the need to establish a specific framework to cater for the situation of the Sahrawi refugees as was emphasized by a UNHCR representative. (iv) The Situation of Sahrawi Youths 51. Although the SADR authorities have made considerable efforts to ensure access to education to a majority of its citizens, difficulties in this respect still abound. There are no higher education institutions in the camps and the SADR government depends entirely on scholarships from countries including Algeria, Spain, Libya and Cuba to send their youths to higher education institutions. The delegation noted the dearth of infrastructure in the schools it visited in the camps. The lack of employment opportunities for graduates who return to the camps was an issue of major concern. 52. The plight of about 350 Sahrawi students who had been studying in Libya and whose studies were abruptly interrupted following the crisis in that country was brought to the attention of the delegation. The delegation was informed that these students have not been able to obtain documentation from the Libyan universities that would enable them enroll in universities elsewhere. 53. The delegation visited some health establishments in the Wilaya of Smara. Here the delegation was briefed on the functioning of the health system in general and the difficulties faced, the most important being the lack of infrastructure and medicines. 54. Malnutrition was also a major cause for concern and according to the Sahrawi Red Crescent, humanitarian aid only covers 50 per cent of monthly food rations. Infant malnutrition is about 30 per cent and anemia is very prevalent in pregnant women, breast-feeding mothers and women of reproductive age. 55. Access to water is a fundamental concern in the refugee camps due to their location in the harsh desert environment. 14 | P a g e
