Problems experienced by refugees in refugee camps and role of governments and humanitarian organizations in providing solutions

Abstract EN

This study aims to shed fresh light on the key problems ex- perienced by refugees in refugee camps in host countries and to identify the role of states and human rights organizations in protecting their rights and alleviating their suffering until they return to their home countries.

The foregoing study uses the descriptive analytical method along with the content analysis method to better align with the purposes of the study thereof.

To this end, the researcher reviewed a large number of literature reviews and literature pertinent to the subject-matter published in the relevant jour- nals and peer-reviewed academic journals.

The researcher also reviewed a number of postgraduate studies for research- ers conducted in the field thereof, in addition to a number of international conventions relating to refugee issues.

The researcher concludes that the problems experienced by refugees in refugee camps are enormously similar, although the countries hosting refugees are of a different nature.

Equal- ly important, the researcher also finds out that there exist some problems that vary based on the country hosting refugees.

Of great note, it turns out that these problems can be classi fied into social, health, psychological, legal problems or otherwise expressed.

The study findings also reveal that there is a glaring lack of efforts put in by governments and human rights orga- nizations to better protect the rights of refugees and resolve their problems.

In light of the findings revealed by the study, the researcher provides a set of recommendations and suggestions to work out solutions to the problems of refugees and alleviate their suffering.
