As usual, a ‘Brainstorming’ Question! Thank you so much Sir Omar Saad Ibrahem for initiating such a Constructive discussion.
The process of providing humanitarian assistance to refugee situations is complex and fluid. It includes determining the legal status of the refugees, providing basic life-sustaining needs, establishing safe-havens and camps, and seeking durable solutions.
The first steps for establishing a Refugee Camp in a safe area in refugee crisis may be summarized as under:-
1) Setting up a Technical Site Selection Committee
2) Site Survey and Assessment
3) Planning and Design
4) Shelter
5) Protection Aspects of Camp Setup
In order to reduce Health Risks, it is essential that site planning and organization takes place as early as possible so that overcrowding is minimized and efficient relief services are provided.
Shelters must be provided as rapidly as possible to protect refugees from the environment,
and infrastructure installed for the necessary HEALTH and NUTRITION facilities, WATER SUPPLY installations, LATRINES, etc. All this must be initiated within the first week of intervention.
Relief agencies are usually faced with one of two possible scenarios:- either the camp is already established with a refugee population that has spontaneously settled on a site prior to the arrival of relief agencies, or site planning is possible prior to their arrival, for example, when they are being transferred to a new camp.
Whichever is the case, prompt action must be undertaken to improve the site and its-facilities; poor organization in the early stages may lead to a chaotic and potentially irreversible situation in regard to camp infrastructure, with consequent health risks. For example, lateral expansion of a site must be accounted for from the beginning in order to avoid overcrowding if refugee numbers increase.
I have the same view of Hafsa's and totally agree to her answer. Thanks.
Your question sound more political than constructive.
However the design of the camps, no matter who uses it, is defined primarily on the basis of financial found, on basis of location, number of users, type of infrastructure networks (electricity supply, water supply, sewage drainage, access roads, communications, and so on). When creating the Camps project, you should have the information on the type of the related supporting facilities ( school, kindergarten, clinic, laundry, offices buildings, recreation facilities, mini markets …) . Internal and external security is very important (T-Wall elements, check points, additional roof protection of all buildings – trailers…). In the selection and design of the restaurant - the kitchens, walk in refrigerators, it is best to do this in cooperation with selected Catering Company…
If you send me more detailed information, I can tell you what the priorities are.
I agree with Farhana answer, it is so organized and completed answer
provide the perimeter with safety and security.
implement extrem security measures on single males between ( 18-30 years old)
preferable to shelter families and old folks only.
not to over crowd the camps.
food, water, clothes and medication
assign a committee from within the refugees
build toilets on one end of of the camp and kitchens on the other end to avoid crosscontamination and sickness.
