Two options offered to Maluku refugees

AMBON, Maluku: The Maluku provincial government has offered 575 refugee families living in camps in Ternate city, North Maluku province, the option of remaining in the camps or returning to their hometowns.

The chief of the Maluku Social Welfare Agency, Chris Hehanussa, said the responses of the families would help the government decide how to handle their cases. -- JP
