displaced persons camp

A displaced persons camp is a temporary settlement established to provide shelter, safety, and basic needs for people who have been forced to leave their homes due to conflicts, war, or disasters. These camps serve as a refuge during emergencies, offering basic services like food, water, medical care, and sanitation. While they aim to protect and support displaced individuals, they are often temporary solutions until it’s safe or possible for people to return home or relocate elsewhere. These camps are managed by governments, international organizations, and humanitarian agencies.
