IDP vs. Refugee
IDP stands for Internally Displaced Person.The biggest difference is the fact that an
refugee crosses international borders. IDPs try to find safeness and security in their
own land. Both refugees and IDPs are entitled to the
same rights as destination country’s citizens.

Life of a Refugee
Refugees are supposed to be given housing, food, clothing, and medical upon arrival to their new land.
Many whom wish to return to their native land usually can’t, because of ongoing turmoil.
Afghani refugees are at times turned away from countries due over crowding.
Many refugees live in tents in sectioned camp areas. Disease, poverty, and hopelessness rules these areas.
