Refugees in Durban are saying they have nowhere safe to return to after being forced from a makeshift camp, and they fear new attacks as the September 30 deadline approaches.

The displaced people, who had been living in a temporary settlement, report that they have been left without a secure place to go. They describe a situation in which they are uncertain about where they can seek shelter or protection.

The looming September 30 deadline, set by authorities, adds to the refugees’ anxiety. They are concerned that the deadline may trigger further insecurity or force them into unsafe conditions.

Durban, a major South African city on the east coast, is a key point of entry for many refugees. The city’s role in hosting displaced populations has made it a focal point for discussions about humanitarian aid and protection measures.
