Is it safe to visit the refugee camps?

IPAL and the Saharai are dedicated to the safety of those doing humanitarian aid in the refugee camps. While the area has had volatile periods, our teams have not had any significant safety issues for the past 6 years serving in the community.  Individuals need to sincerely consider the risk of serving in areas that have had terrorist activity in the past and may have sympathetic factions despite a peaceful cultural disposition.
