refugee camps
Temporary exile housing
Refugee camps are temporary settlements established to shelter people who have fled war, persecution, or disaster.
They range from organized tent cities run by international agencies to sprawling informal settlements that persist for decades.
Conditions vary widely—some provide basic services like schools and clinics, others barely sustain life.
