A graphic portrayal of how 39 million people live today

July 4, 2006 - 12:49pm

14 million refugees and up to 25 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) live in temporary shelters throughout the world. Although some people ultimately return home or move to another country, the number of refugees and IDPS continues to grow. Doctors Without Borders provides a graphical tour of what life is like for those people. Learn about the basic needs in a refugee camp: shelter, food, water, sanitation, and health care. Hear the personal stories of refugees and relief workers. The site provides good information for use as educational materials in schools.
