Thousands
of people from Kenya, Sudan and Somalia are
refugees in Ethiopia. Although some people
have been able to return home, for others
it is still too dangerous. These refugees
live in camps in different parts of the country.
|
| The
map shows where there are refugee camps in
Ethiopia. Click on the arrows to find out
the number of people who have moved to and
from these camps in 2000 and the number of
refugees that are still living there. Why
do you think the camps for Somali refugees
are in the east of Ethiopia, and the camps
for Sudanese refugees are in the west? |
 |
|
Living in a refugee camp is neither easy nor
fun. Some refugees may have to live there
for years because it is too dangerous to go
home. |

each other to build secure houses. |

What
do people need the most when they first
arrive in a refugee camp? Look at the different
icons of things that people may need when
they first arrive. Choose the four that
you think people couldn't live without,
and drag your cursor over them to see if
you have chosen the four most essential
needs.
|
| It
is difficult for refugee families to support
themselves because many do not have jobs or
land to grow food. Instead, they have to depend
on the food given to them. Sometimes this
isn't enough. |

This
is particularly true for the Somalian refugee
camps like this one in eastern Ethiopia.
Here, the environment
is very dry and harsh. |

In
many camps, the people have built special
shelters so that the children can go to school.

As
well as the usual subjects, refugee children
learn about the dangers of landmines, which
they may find in the ground when they return
to their home country.
