Mr. Millman notes that the camp was designed for 18,000 people; currently, more than 46,000 people are living there. As a result, he says, the tents are too crowded, and the drinking water is becoming dirty.
米尔曼先生指出，该集中生活营的设计只能容纳18000人；目前，有超过46000人生活在那里。因此，他说，帐篷过于拥挤，饮用水变得很脏。
He thinks the problems are only going to get worse. About 1,000 more people are coming every day. Soon, the rains will come, too.
他认为，问题只会变得更糟。每天约1000多人来这儿。不久，雨季也将至。

米尔曼表示，联合国工作人员和援助机构正努力在干旱地区创造更多的空间。
"The more we build, the faster people come for shelter. We can't separate families. We can't turn them away. On the other hand, we cannot expose them to what could be extremely dangerous health conditions."
“我们建造的越多，过来避难的人们其速度就越快。我们不能将家庭分开，也不能让他们离开。另一方面，我们也不能让他们在健康状况极其危险的出处境下生存。
Aid agencies do know a solution to the problems. The agencies say they must be able to provide aid directly to the people who live near Malakal. But fighting there has prevented aid workers from reaching those in need.
援助机构确实知道一个解决问题的办法。该机构称，他们必须能够直接向那些居住在马拉卡勒附近的人们提供援助。但这里的战斗却阻止救援人员到达那些需要帮助的人那里。
