displaced persons (DP) camps

Displaced Persons (DP) camps are temporary shelters established for individuals who have been forced to leave their homes due to conflict, persecution, or natural disasters. After World War II, these camps primarily housed refugees and survivors, offering basic necessities such as food, water, and medical care. DPs often reside in these camps while awaiting resettlement or repatriation. While DP camps aim to provide safety and support, challenges like overcrowding and limited resources can arise, complicating the lives of those who seek to rebuild their lives away from their original homes.
