migrant camp
Temporary refugee housing
A migrant camp is a temporary settlement housing people who have relocated, typically for work or to escape difficult conditions.
The term covers a range from organized facilities with basic services to informal tent cities.
Agricultural migrant camps house seasonal farmworkers; refugee camps shelter those fleeing conflict or disaster.
Conditions in the migrant camp deteriorated as more families arrived.
