refugees in urban areas

Refugees in urban areas are individuals who have fled their home countries due to conflict, persecution, or violence and settle in cities rather than refugee camps. They often seek safety, employment, and a chance to rebuild their lives within existing communities. Urban refugees face unique challenges such as access to housing, legal protection, healthcare, and education. While cities can offer opportunities and networks, refugees may also encounter social integration issues and limited support. Governments and organizations work to provide services and support to help urban refugees integrate and thrive amid these complexities.
