I thought readers here would be interested in viewing some footage from a recent trip to the Shimelba refugee camp in Ethiopia, where thousands languish in refugee camps. Out of the 14,000 refugees living there, sadly 70% are children.
The video footage is viewable at http://www.refugees.org/article.aspx?id=2214 , and please by all means share the information with others who would be interested. Anyone with a web page containing information related to refugee causes may help by adding a link to the report so that more people will be made aware of the human warehousing issue and help these refugees find homes. Remember, this is just one example of human warehousing, where refugees are trapped in camps for 5, 10, or even 20 years, struggling daily with food shortages, assault, lack of work, and other dire conditions that no one should have to live under. Please help by sharing this information, and continuing to raise awareness.
