When Dadaab first opened in 1991, it was meant to provide temporary shelter for 90,000 people. Today the camp is quickly approaching half a million refugees and is the largest refugee camp in the world. The influx of refugees, due to lack of rains and continued conflict in Somalia has placed great strain on the camps' resources. With three generations of refugees, and over 6,000 grandchildren of the original arrivals in 91’, there is no sign that anyone will leave anytime soon.
