description of boko haram camp

Boko Haram camps are refugee or displaced persons camps located in Nigeria, where many people displaced by the ongoing conflict with the insurgent group have sought safety. The camps are typically overcrowded and lack basic sanitation facilities. People living in these camps often struggle to get access to food and medicine due to a lack of resources and ongoing localized fighting. People living in the camps are often traumatized by their experiences and have limited access to mental health support. As such, these communities are prone to increasing levels of poverty and violence.
