refugee settlements

Refugee settlements are places where people who have fled their home countries due to conflict, persecution, or disaster gather to live temporarily or long-term. These settlements provide basic needs such as shelter, food, water, healthcare, and safety. They are often organized by governments, international organizations, or NGOs to support displaced populations. While meant to be safe havens, the living conditions can vary, with some settlements facing challenges like overcrowding or limited resources. Their primary goal is to offer protection and stability until refugees can return home, resettle elsewhere, or find a durable solution.
