The Dzaleka refugee camp in Malawi provides a stark example of the impact of displacement on economic stability. According to official figures, each individual receives a monthly allocation of $9. This amount represents a fundamental lifeline for the camp’s residents, primarily focusing on food and basic necessities. The camp’s primary economic activity is centered around providing temporary shelter and subsistence farming for those displaced from their homes. While the aid provided addresses immediate survival, it does not significantly alleviate the long-term economic prospects of the affected population. The situation highlights the complexities of humanitarian assistance in areas experiencing significant displacement.
