Every single minute, twenty-four people around the world flee their homes because of violence and natural disasters, war or human rights violations.
As a result, there are around 65 million people who have currently been forcibly displaced from their homes.
Fifty percent are under seventeen years old while seven percent are unaccompanied minors.
But where do they go?
While many have discussed the social and political implications of these moving groups, we wanted to understand 'How do you build a refugee camp? '
Refugee camps exist around the world from Azerbaijan to Thailand to one of the largest camps Dadaab, located in Eastern Kenya which currently has 246,000 people living in it.
We decided to visit Lesvos, a Greek island near Turkey which has been an essential entry point into Europe for refugees fleeing places like Syria and Afghanistan and making the trip across the Aegean Sea from Turkey to Greece.
The capital of Lesvos is Mytilene, a surprisingly lively port city considering its population size of around 30,000 people.
But as the refugee crisis began in 2015, it became one of the spontaneous sites for those fleeing war and persecution.
And a transit refugee camp called Kara Tepe was set up on the outskirts of the city which would become a gold standard for refugee camps.
