Refugee camps around the world
Greek Cypriot children after the 1974 Turkish/Greek Cypriot war.
The largest refugee camp in Lebanon.
Health care and safety for all refugees in the camps is a great concern.
Northern Uganda- the sights, smells and stories from these camps are horrific- many orphans from the conflict with the "Lord's Resistance Army" that has ravaged the
countryside for the last 18 years. There are children who had witnessed appalling violence and met men and
women who had been mutilated by the insurgents. The gentleman above had both arms cut off. In many of the
camps children are "night commuters."
Rwanda
Dheisheh camp (pop. 8,600), West Bank, is one of 59 camps established in the wake of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war to accommodate the thousands of Palestinians in their exodus from Palestine.
Darfur
Afghanistan
Can you imagine your life without…
…clean water?
…care for your family?
…safety for children?
…medical care?
…good food?
…peace and quiet?
…a warm home?
…the hope of leaving soon?
There are 39 million people (more
than the population of Canada) who live like this, in refugee camps, in our
world today.
We are lucky and can help them.
