Unfortunately, I'm not. I read the NYT article and continued to explore the sequel because, I was not aware that such camps actually existed. I believe that these camps were created with the right intention of providing emergency care, but it seems that most people end up treating these places as homes because they have nothing better to go back to (fear of persecution, country still in turmoil, etc). Although these camps in poor countries can be breeding grounds for diseases and other forms of horrible situations, I feel that they might still be better than what these refugees were exposed to (genocide, war, etc). <br /><br />I don't believe the solution to such problems is to let these refugees settle into the communities of the country (like the article suggests by their explanation of Iraq), mostly because a country like Kenya will not be able to handle the cultural, religious, and other diversities that come with the refugees from Somalia or any other country. I believe the UN needs to do more at these sites to ensure that these refugees are both fed educated. Food is essential, and being knowledgeable about certain things like cleanliness can go a long way.arabianknighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12312718863384938706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15483635.post-4775980097253154842011-09-10T21:57:55.997-04:002011-09-10T21:57:55.997-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.arabianknighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12312718863384938706noreply@blogger.com
