Two years ago, it was a tiny village of 400 people.

Conditions inside the camp are grim.

Incidences of domestic violence and sexual exploitation of girls and women are reportedly high.

There is no formal schooling available to the estimated 7,000 primary school children in the camp.

Food supplies are sufficient for survival but provide little nutritional benefits.
