This year it will be 30 years since the Dadaab camps were first established to accommodate Somalis fleeing their country's civil war. At one time, Dadaab was the largest refugee camp in the world, hosting upwards of half a million people. It is still home to some 232,903 refugees, many of whom were born in the camps, and have known nothing else.   With the deadline to close Kenya's refugee camps just over six months away, urgency is mounting to find sustainable solutions for the refugees in the camps at Dadaab.  They risk being deprived of the little assistance they currently receive, warns international medical organisation Doctors Without Borders (MSF).
