Refugee shelter is different from transitional shelter, though the overlap is large. A transitional shelter is one without land tenure, which can last considerably longer than a tent and be almost permanent. It can be located in the garden of a destroyed house, or in a neighbouring country. Refugee shelter is not a properly defined concept, but it would include everything from plastic sheeting to host family solutions. Refugee shelter would be only for refugees, and not for victims of natural disasters.

Merge?

Articles Refugee shelter and Emergency shelter are very similar to this, probably too similar to exist in their own right. Potential for a merge?Michtrich (talk) 15:42, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
