Definition: A refugee camp is a temporary settlement built to receive refugees and people in refugee-like situations. Refugee camps usually accommodate displaced persons who have fled their home country, but there also camps for internally displaced persons.

�Camps with over a hundred thousand people are common, but as of 2012 the average-sized camp housed around 11, 400. [1]They are usually built and run by a government, the United Nations, international organizations (such as the International Committee of the Red Cross), or NGOs. There also unofficial refugee camps, like Idomeni in Greece or the Calais jungle in France, where refugees are largely left without support of governments or international organizations

Statistic in jordan Populations of concern to UNHCR in refugee camps in 2014 : Jordan Azraq 11, 315 Jordan Zaatari ( 2014) 84, 773 (2013) 145, 209 According to UNHCR, Jordan is the second largest host of refugees per capita in the world following Pakistan.

According to UNHCR, the majority of refugees worldwide do not live in refugee camps. At the end of 2015, some 67 per cent of refugees around the world lived in individual, private accommodations. [3] This can be partly explained by the high number of Syrian refugees renting apartments in urban agglomerations across the Middle East. Worldwide, slightly over a quarter (25. 4%) of refugees was reported to be living in planned/managed camps. At the end of 2015, about 56 per cent of the total refugee population in rural locations resided in a planned/managed camp, compared with 2 per cent who resided in individual accommodation. In urban locations, the overwhelming majority (99 per cent) of refugees lived in individual accommodations, compared with less than 1 per cent who lived in a planned/managed camp. A small percentage of refugees also live in collective centers, transit camps and in self-settled camps.

Some example on camps in Jordan : �Amman New Camp �Baqa'a Camp �Husn Camp �Irbid Camp �Jabal el-Hussein Camp �Jerash Camp �Marka Camp �Souf Camp �Talbieh Camp �Zarqa Camp

Effect on community. Housing and sanitation. Food rations. Environment. Education. Security. Economy. increase in communicable infectious diseases in the surrounding areas

Role of nurses 1 - the development of referral networks and cooperative relationships with general practitioners and other health providers 2 - connection with social support and orientation programs 3 - better disease management and prevention 4 - health education as needed 5 - Training self–care and coping 6 - reduce prevalence of people with chronic health problems 7 - learn how to family planning

CONCLUSION. effective refugee health care requires a multi -sectoral and preventive approach. In the most serious challenges, national and locally available resources will be insufficient and lives will depend on rapid and effective outside support. General agreement among all concerned with refugee health care on the standards and priorities outlined above must be complemented by effective coordination of the response, priority setting, procedures and structures appropriate to each specific situation

Aim of the study The aim of this study is the health care situation of Sahrawi population living in refugee camps and the importance of the training for health care professionals to deal with staff shortage in health establishments. The main problem is the lack of health staff and their continuing training.

Conclusions The situation in the refugee camps, bearing in mind the health of the population, suffers from serious deficiencies. In particular, this is due to the shortage of qualified medical personnel who have to deal with the major health problems that Sahrawi people suffer. The brain drain is one of the main difficulties that the Saharawi Administration has to face. For this reason, alternative solutions have to be found, one such is focused on the training of professionals in the newly created University of Tifariti. This university is signing some agreements with Spanish universities, reflecting its institutional strengthening and promoting the international exchange of lecturers and students in those degrees that are more necessary to meet the needs of the population, including health care degrees.
