refugee shelters

Refugee shelters are temporary or long-term spaces designed to provide safety, basic needs, and support for people fleeing conflict, disaster, or persecution. They can range from simple tents and makeshift camps to more organized facilities like community centers or refugee camps with essential services such as food, water, healthcare, and sanitation. These shelters aim to protect vulnerable populations, offer a sense of security, and facilitate access to resources while they seek safety or await resettlement. Their design and management often involve humanitarian organizations working in partnership with local governments to meet the diverse needs of displaced persons.
