=== Acute and temporary protection === ====Refugee camp==== [[File:Refugee camp in Guinea.jpg|thumb|A camp in [[Guinea]] for refugees from [[Sierra Leone]] ]] [[File:Refugee camp.jpg|thumb|Refugee camp in the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo|Congo]]]] {{Main|Refugee camp}} A refugee camp is a place built by [[government]]s or [[Non-governmental organization|NGOs]] (such as the [[International Committee of the Red Cross|Red Cross]]) to receive refugees, [[internally displaced person]]s or sometimes also other migrants. It is usually designed to offer acute and temporary accommodation and services and any more permanent facilities and structures often banned. People may stay in these camps for many years, receiving emergency food, education and medical aid until it is safe enough to return to their country of origin. There, refugees are at risk of disease, child soldier and terrorist recruitment, and physical and sexual violence. There are estimated to be 700 refugee camp locations worldwide.<ref>{{cite web|title=The UN Refugee Agency|url=http://www.unhcr.org/cgi-bin/texis/vtx/home|access-date=2015-12-18|publisher=UNHCR}}</ref> ====Urban refugee==== {{Main|Urban refugee}} Not all refugees who are supported by the UNHCR live in refugee camps.
