refugee tent
Emergency canvas home
A refugee tent is a temporary shelter provided to people displaced by war, persecution, or disaster.
These tents—typically provided by humanitarian organizations—serve as emergency housing in camps or transit areas: Rows of refugee tents stretched across the border crossing.
The term evokes images of crisis and mass displacement.
