Refugee shelter

Refugee Shelters include the most basic kind of structure created in the aftermath of a conflict or natural disaster as a temporary residence for victims who have lost or abandoned their homes. Refugees are persons fleeing their homes or countries of origin due to natural disasters and political or religious persecution in search of refuge and resettlement. After resettlement many refugees face crowded, noisy, dirty, disease filled grounds where thousands of families are cramped together and surviving day by day. The practice of granting asylum to displaced people in foreign lands can be found throughout history with examples seen as early as during the formation of the great empires in the MIddle East, such as the Babylonians, Assyrians and ancient Egyptians and as recent as Hurricane Katrina victims, and Syrian refugees in Jordan.
