There and buildings for day care centers, medical clinics, grocery stores, housing, toilets and showers with running water ect. In a PM to me, one of your posters suggested that the necessary repairs will give the refugees something to do ie a form of employment doing the repairs maintenance themselves. Base rehab and residency might provide security and a sense of purpose for some. There's an obvious large displaced poor population thats going to have to live somewhere for a long time. It would be a long term effort and the need for training for many of these refugees is great, but the Peace Corp and other agencies are designed with this very thing in mind.
