​

Nearly half a million people currently live in Dadaab, the world’s largest refugee camp in eastern Kenya. That is the roughly the same size as Atlanta, Georgia. Most of the refugees in Dadaab fled from Somalia and have remained at the camp for almost thirty years waiting for the violence at home to end, or for the chance to receive asylum in a western country. Because crises continue to emerge in other areas of the world, the continued strife of the Somali people has largely been forgotten by the outside world. The shift in attention of the international community results in less financial support for camps like Dadaab, which constricts the resources available for each individual living there. One year ago, the Kenyan government considered closing this entire facility and sending the hundreds of thousands of Somalian refugees back to their war-torn country, because they were struggling to support the camp’s population. Although the imminent closure was ruled unconstitutional, the increasing fatigue and decreasing support will force Kenya--along with the international community--to begin assessing alternative solutions.
