Summary

This map shows the locations of refugee camps worldwide. The circles indicate the size of each refugee camp ranging from 20,000 to 50,000 people, 50,000 to 100,000 people, and over 100,000 people. These statistics do not include camps housing refugees from within their own country.

Also noted on the map is the correlation between cities with population exceeding 750,000 people and their improved access to sanitation for the year 2002.

Additionally, an inset bar graph comparing the number of people living in slums in different regions of the world for 1990 and 2001 is included. This information is measured in millions of people.
