EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking aerial view captures the sprawling makeshift shelters at the Dagahaley camp in Dadaab, near the Kenya-Somalia border. The photograph, taken by Thomas Mukoya on April 3,2011, offers a unique perspective of this refugee camp and its surrounding environment. From above, we can see rows upon rows of temporary structures that serve as shelter for those seeking refuge. These humble dwellings are creatively constructed using whatever materials are available to provide some semblance of protection from the elements. The image showcases the vastness of this settlement and highlights how nature interacts with human habitation. Shadows cast by these shelters create an intricate pattern on the ground below, adding depth to the composition. With no people visible in this photo print, it emphasizes both the scale and anonymity of those living within these walls. This aerial viewpoint allows us to reflect on their resilience amidst challenging circumstances. Mukoya's photograph serves as a reminder of the complex issues faced by displaced communities around the world. It prompts us to consider our role in supporting and finding sustainable solutions for those who have been forced to seek refuge due to conflict or other hardships.
