write up on condition of refugees in refugee camp
Answers
Answer:
A refugee camp is a temporary settlement built to receive refugees and people in refugee-like situations. Refugee camps usually accommodate displaced persons who have fled their home country, but camps are also made for internally displaced people. Usually, refugees seek asylum after they have escaped war in their home countries, but some camps also house environmental and economic migrants. Camps with over a hundred thousand people are common, but as of 2012, the average-sized camp housed around 11,400.[1] They are usually built and run by a government, the United Nations, international organizations (such as the International Committee of the Red Cross), or non-governmental organization. Unofficial refugee camps, such as Idomeni in Greece or the Calais jungle in France, are where refugees are largely left without support of governments or international organizations.
Answer:
Security: It should have a safe distance from the border, but no more than a day’s walk where possible.
Geography: It should have easy access to water supplies, safe geographical features (e.g. stable ground soil, shaded areas) and waste management capabilities to ensure healthy and comfortable conditions. The layout of the site should also allow each refugee at least 480 sq. ft. to provide dignity and mitigate the risk of health crises.
Accessibility: humanitarian spaces require major logistics and supplies. It, therefore, needs to be accessible for big vehicles. Depending on the urgency of the situation, it may also require an air strip for lifesaving supplies.
