Dadaab Refugee Camps

The Dadaab refugee Camp is seperated in three sub-camps named Dagahaley, Ifo and Hagadera.
These camps were planed in the 1990's as a temporary solution for somali refugees. But now the situation is much more complexer because the camps are extremly growing.
Because of this uncontrolled growing the campstructures show different types of settlement.

The refugee camps are organized by different organisations like UNHCR or UKaid... which try to keep these camps alive by using donates from all over the world.
