A refugee camp is a temporary settlement built to provide shelter and support for people who have fled their home countries due to conflict, persecution, or natural disasters. These camps are often set up by organizations like the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and can vary in size, accommodating hundreds to thousands of individuals. In a refugee camp, residents typically receive basic necessities such as food, water, and medical care. The camps also aim to offer education and protection, helping refugees rebuild their lives while they await resettlement or return to their home countries.
