Refugee Camps are Swell !
As the ranks of world's refugees swell, asylum space shrinks: U.N. Oct 2017
Because you asked for it!
More than 2 million people have fled wars or persecution and joined the ranks of the world’s refugees last year,
but often face more restrictive asylum policies, including in Europe and the United States.
Newly arrived Rohingya refugees make their way to a camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. 650,000 from South Sudan
and 500,000 Muslim Rohingya who have escaped violence in Myanmar for Bangladesh over the five weeks, many of the
latter stateless, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi, Oct 2017

At the end of last year, 17.2 million refugees fell under UNHCR’s mandate. That would be like evacuating 1/3 of the
Vancouver Lower Mainland into refugee camps, where nobody can afford rent.
