MSF is French , in english it means Doctors Without Borders, the world's leading independent medical humanitarian organization. A refugee camp is a temporary camp built led by international organizations, (such as the MSF or Red Cross) or NGOs to receive refugees. Hundreds of thousands or even millions of people may live in any one single camp. Since refugee camps are generally set up in an impromptu fashion and designed to meet basic human needs for only a short time, when the return of refugees is prevented (often by civil war), a humanitarian crisis can result. Some refugee camps are dirty and unhygienic. Some refugee camps, such as Ein el-Helweh have only the quality of a temporary camp, but have existed for decades, which has major implications for human rights. People may stay in these camps, receiving emergency food and medical aid, until it is safe to return to their homes. In some cases, often after several years, other countries decide it will never be safe to return these people, and they are resettled in "third countries," away from the border they crossed.
