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.

Greek Cypriot children after the 1974 Turkish/Greek Cypriot war.
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."
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.
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.
