Refugees - East Timor

Refugee camps represent a poor shelter for the thousands of refugees who, during the political/militar turmoil, where an artificial social division arose (east-west), saw their houses burnt to the ground and had to fled to save their lives from the escalating man hunting. Food depletion, lack of hygiene, diseases (malaria and dengue), almost inexistent income and constant fear for life add to the problem, but are not enough to break the resistant spirit of the east Timorese people.
