Refugee camp
A refugee camp is a temporary settlement built to receive refugees. Camps with over a hundred thousand people are common, but as of 2012 the average-sized camp housed around 11,400. Usually they are built and run by a government, the United Nations, or international organizations, (such as the Red Cross) or NGOs. But there are also unofficial refugee camps, like the Calais jungle, where refugees are largely left without support of governments or international organisations.
Refugee camps generally develop in an impromptu fashion with the aim of meeting basic human needs for only a short time. Due to crowding and lack of infrastructure, some refugee camps can become unhygienic, leading to a high incidence of infectious diseases, including epidemics. If the return of refugees is prevented (often by civil war), a humanitarian crisis can result or continue. "Refugee camp" typically describes a settlement of people who have escaped war in their home country and have fled to a country of first asylum, but some camps also house environmental migrants and economic refugees.

"Get off the gate! Get back, all of you!", a guard at the entrance to the Dadaab camp shouts at the crowd. These people are exhausted from famine and their arduous journey, especially the children. "The child's weight is five kilos. He should be around 10 kilos", a camp doctor tells us. Unfortunately there is no space in the camps and these people must settle on its outskirts in makeshift shelters for months on end. So why isn't more space being opened up? Aid agencies have pumped millions of dollars into providing new facilities, but they remain unopened. Fafa Olivier Attidzah, who runs the camp on behalf of the UN, claims: "We have decided to revisit the plot size so that we can accommodate more people. That is why we haven't started putting people there". But many claim the real reason is the Kenyan government's fear of having 1 million Somali refugees inside its borders. Kenya is also suffering from a drought and as the Somali situation worsens there are fears that conflict could be on the horizon.

Conditions are shocking, and there is little sign of a solution. But among those trying to survive we find two naturalised British citizens who have chosen to live in one of Europe’s only shanty towns because their family members have been denied entry to the UK.

About 60 million people around the globe have been forced to leave their homes to escape war, violence and persecution. The majority have become Internally Displaced Persons, meaning they fled their homes but are still in their own countries. Others, referred to as refugees, sought shelter outside their own country. But what does that term really mean? Benedetta Berti and Evelien Borgman explain.

Tens of thousands of people have ended up in Kenya, where a vast refugee camp set up in the 1990s is continuing to grow.
With legal resettlement options drying up, those stuck there, in some cases for decades, are facing an even bleaker future.

Children as young as ten attempting suicide and almost constant horrific violence. This is life inside a European refugee camp. The BBC has been given rare access inside Moria camp on the Greek island of Lesbos. Workers for the charity MSF say it is the worst refugee camp on earth. It has a capacity for around two thousand refugees yet houses around eight thousand. On just one day the BBC visited two people were stabbed. Catrin Nye went inside.

"Get off the gate! Get back, all of you!", a guard at the entrance to the Dadaab camp shouts at the crowd. These people are exhausted from famine and their arduous journey, especially the children. "The child's weight is five kilos. He should be around 10 kilos", a camp doctor tells us. Unfortunately there is no space in the camps and these people must settle on its outskirts in makeshift shelters for months on end. So why isn't more space being opened up? Aid agencies have pumped millions of dollars into providing new facilities, but they remain unopened. Fafa Olivier Attidzah, who runs the camp on behalf of the UN, claims: "We have decided to revisit the plot size so that we can accommodate more people. That is why we haven't started putting people there". But many claim the real reason is the Kenyan government's fear of having 1 million Somali refugees inside its borders. Kenya is also suffering from a drought and as the Somali situation worsens there are fears that conflict could be on the horizon.

They hold the highest number of ISIS supporters in the world along with the families who fled Iraq and Syria after the fall of their so-called caliphate.
Experts warn the camps - which house tens of thousands of refugees - are now a "ticking time bomb", a fertile breeding ground for Islamic extremism and an ideal hunting ground for ISIS recruiters.
Sky's special correspondent, Alex Crawford, was taken inside the tented communities to speak to some who are held there.

Greece is facing criticism for plans to place migrants into ‘closed, controlled’ camps, which some describe as prisons but the government says will provide better living conditions. It comes as the country is concerned about a potential influx of Afghan refugees.

About 60 million people around the globe have been forced to leave their homes to escape war, violence and persecution. The majority have become Internally Displaced Persons, meaning they fled their homes but are still in their own countries. Others, referred to as refugees, sought shelter outside their own country. But what does that term really mean? Benedetta Berti and Evelien Borgman explain.
Lesson by Benedetta Berti and Evelien Borgman, animation by TED-Ed.
Refugee camp
A refugee camp is a temporary settlement built to receive refugees. Camps with over a hundred thousand people are common, but as of 2012 the average-sized camp housed around 11,400. Usually they are built and run by a government, the United Nations, or international organizations, (such as the Red Cross) or NGOs. But there are also unofficial refugee camps, like the Calais jungle, where refugees are largely left without support of governments or international organisations.
Refugee camps generally develop in an impromptu fashion with the aim of meeting basic human needs for only a short time. Due to crowding and lack of infrastructure, some refugee camps can become unhygienic, leading to a high incidence of infectious diseases, including epidemics. If the return of refugees is prevented (often by civil war), a humanitarian crisis can result or continue. "Refugee camp" typically describes a settlement of people who have escaped war in their home country and have fled to a country of first asylum, but some camps also house environmental migrants and economic refugees.
