Refugee is a person who leaves their country because of danger or conflict. This can include war, natural disasters, or persecution. Refugees are protected under international agreements.

Some refugees live in camps set up for temporary shelter, while others resettle in new countries. Families may travel long distances to find safety. Organizations such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) provide support like food, shelter, and education.

Refugees are different from other migrants because they are forced to leave. Their movement is recorded in international systems and legal frameworks.
