Visiting her house, Gaga Refugee Camp, eastern Chad


This lady was kind enough to show me her home in the refugee camp, a small tent issued by the UN. She had very few possessions. Darfurians fled their villages in Sudan with only what they could carry on their backs. The belongings they left behind were pillaged by the Sudanese government military and militias. Despite their apparent poverty, the people at the camp were generous and hospitable showing a decency and dignity that was humbling.
