“Historically, on average international wars have lasted only six months. In contrast, the average civil war has been much longer, with estimates ranging from seven to fifteen years. If a family are going to be refugees for over a decade, their priority is not emergency food and shelter. It is to re-establish the threads of normal famiy life, anchored materially by a capacity of whoever is the breadwinner to earn a living. The camps run by UNHCR met the basic material needs of refugees, but they provided few opportunities to earn a living. Consequently, they left families bereft of autonomy.” WarCivil WarRefugeeUnited NationsRefugeesRefugee CrisisUnhcrInternational Warfare Book:Refuge: Transforming a Broken Refugee System Source: Refuge: Transforming a Broken Refugee System
