REFUGEE CAMP IN THE HEART OF THE CITY
Come discover this free, interactive, awareness-raising event organized by Médecins Sans Frontières/ Doctors Without Borders (MSF).
www.refugeecamp.org
The goal of the exhibit is to raise awareness about the plight of the world’s 42 million refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) uprooted by war and conflict.
The Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City exhibit is an outdoor reconstruction of an actual refugee camp, where experienced MSF staff (doctors, nurses, logisticians) guide visitors through a 40 to 60 minute interactive tour, explaining the crucial elements for survival in a refugee or IDP crisis. During the tour, each visitor will learn some of the challenges a refugee or IDP faces in trying to access food, shelter, water and medical care.
The Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City has toured in countries in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. In 2007, the exhibit attracted close to 20,000 visitors in the United States during its five-city tour.
MSF is the world's leading independent medical humanitarian organization, delivering emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, disasters, and exclusion from healthcare in close to 60 countries worldwide.
