I'm referring to how the conflict itself has an impact on neighbouring countries. The most direct, obvious impact is when people cross the border and have to be taken care of. We have hundreds of thousands of people who had to flee their homes, who are now living in neighbouring countries. If they have some people to stay with, they're staying with people who are equally as poor as them or they're staying in camps. Oxfam and other agencies are providing them with basic survival services, but it's a burden. Until they can return safely home once the conflict is over, it's going to be a long-term burden for those neighbouring countries that are very poor to begin with.
