#34 Crisis Shelter for Mass Displacement
Noorullah Kuchai is a civil engineer, a humanitarian and a
refugee twice over. He lived in a tent in a Pakistani refugee camp for a decade
and is now dedicating his life to helping people who have been displaced by war
like he was. And the challenge is enormous. More people are being displaced by
conflict and disaster than ever before. Today 71 million people around the
world are in need of shelter, either as refugees having crossed borders to get
to safety, or by becoming homeless inside their own countries. And in most
cases these people will not get to go home for years, sometimes even decades. New
approaches are therefore needed to ensure that shelter is sustainable, durable
and socially beneficial for displaced people and the communities that host
them. To enable this, collaboration is needed between humanitarians, local
governments, academia and technical professionals to bring together those that
manage disaster on the ground, and people who are developing better shelter. We
head to the UK Shelter Forum in
London to find out more about how this knowledge gap is closing.
