Translations:AY Honors/Refugee Resettlement/Answer Key/29/en

When a person arrives in your community as a "refugee" it is because your national government has legally certified that individual as someone who had to flee their home and cannot return due to the threat of death. In areas of mass displacement there are usually Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO's) such as the International Red Cross, ADRA, or others who manage camps near the borders of the country people are fleeing. In these camps the United Nations take applications from people seeking to leave the camp for a new homeland and makes arrangements with the various countries to which they eventually travel. Often, they wait for a number of years before they can find a new home. For more information check with the appropriate government agency in your country.
