Located in northeastern Kenya, Dadaab camp is one of the world’s largest refugee settlements.
Established in the 1990s to shelter victims of Somalia’s civil war, it now hosts hundreds of thousands fleeing conflict, drought, or food insecurity.
A sprawling tent city, Dadaab operates through the joint efforts of UNHCR, NGOs, and refugees themselves. Despite harsh living conditions — limited water, education, and healthcare — the resilience of its inhabitants is remarkable.
Between hopes of return and resettlement, the camp embodies humanity in limbo, where generations are born, grow, and survive.
In Dadaab, exile has become a way of life.
