REFUGEE CAMPS & SETTLEMENTS

The temporary and semi-permanent

Camps and Settlements

Refugee Country Guide - Camps Section (500px)
A refugee camp or settlement is typically a temporary structure or facility. These interim measures are implemented to house all displaced individuals, whether due to conflict, persecution, or escaping violence. The camps or settlements provide immediate assistance and protection for all those affected. At the same time, it allows aid and government agencies to establish more permanent and long-term accommodation solutions.
