    Refugee camps are temporary facilities that provide protection and basic assistance to people who have fled their homes due to war, violence, or persecution. They offer safe haven and meet basic needs like food, water, shelter, and medical care. Approximately 6.6 million people, or 22% of the world's refugees, currently live in camps. The largest camp is Kutupalong in Bangladesh, hosting over 700,000 Rohingya refugees from Myanmar. Refugee camps seek to provide immediate aid until longer-term solutions are found, though refugees often remain in camps for over 12 years.

    What are Refugee
    Camps?

    • Refugee camps are temporary facilities built


    to provide immediate protection and
    assistance to people who have been forced to
    flee their homes due to war, persecution or
    violence. While camps are not established to
    provide permanent solutions, they offer a safe
    haven for refugees and meet their most basic
    needs such as food, water, shelter, medical
    treatment and other basic services during
    emergencies.
