Unhcr Assists Refugees In Zambia

The 250,000 refugees who crowd Zambian refugee settlements come mostly from Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo. They all need help. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), once they have moved them away from the borders, settles them in camps and provides them with immediate assistance. The Zambian government provides refugee families with 2.5 hectares of land. They also receive assistance from international sources.(3'26)
