Temporary camps have been hit by weather extremes in the last few years,

refugees and displaced persons in the countries because of The Conflict , experts say is increasingly vulnerable to the impact of extreme weather events.

Humanitarian agencies, told the BBC, this presents significant challenges for their operations in different parts of The World .

makeshift Camp for the displaced in Africa and Asia were affected.

Extreme weather has also move to secondary shifts in the population who have already had caused to.

scientists say that extreme weather events are the new normal, if the warming continues at its present rate.

But experts say Climate Change could not be disasters, with weather-related.

However, many of them argue, agree with scientific predictions that the frequency and intensity of extreme weather will grow in a warming world.

"This is our big challenge," Shabia Mantoo, a spokesman for the UNHCR (United Nations refugee agency), told the BBC.

"A growing number of camps for refugees and internally displaced persons meet by extreme weather events and their management in such conditions is increasingly difficult. "

In most cases, flooding was the big challenge.

As a Tropical Cyclone Idai hit South-East Africa , killing More Than 1,000 People this year in March, a refugee Camp in Zimbabwe was also affected, according to UNHCR officials.

she said many of the Camp Tongogara were injured in the refugee, the host district, with some 13,000 refugees in Chipinge -.

"some 2,000 refugee houses, mainly built with clay bricks, have been fully or partially damaged," the UNHCR said at the time.

"More Than 600 latrines have collapsed, and the borehole water is to be feared that they are contaminated by flood water. There is a real danger of an outbreak of water-borne diseases. "

The UN refugee Agency said it faced a similar situation in South Sudan , in October last year at a refugee Camp in Maban county, with 15,000 displaced People from the country, the neighboring country of Sudan, which was hit by unprecedented floods.

The area is prone to floods during this time of the year because of seasonal rains. But that was not the only factor in this case.

"the Flooding of the rivers in South Sudan come from the highlands in neighbouring Ethiopia, where the rainfall, said more and more intense and irregular, and is also carving his way through the district wide, fast rivers," UNHCR spokesman Andrej Mahecic,.

In Nigeria, provisional Camp in Maiduguri, the People of refuge who fled Boko Haram rebels from the North-Eastern parts of the country were affected by the floods after heavy rains in August of this year, according to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDCM).

The rebellion has displaced nearly 2. 4 million People in the Lake Chad Basin, according to UN figures.

"And many of these displaced persons population-from one extreme weather event after the other," said Mamadou Sow, head of The International Committee of the Red cross (ICRC) in Southern Africa .

"We call it a double-weakness, and this is increasingly happening in our region. "

In Asia, it is another example of Cox's Bazar Camp in Bangladesh where Rohingya refugees are protected.

While last year the monsoon rains, the camps there were not only flooded, but some were also hit by landslides.

the officials with The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) say that the concentration of People in the Camp , the way The Land is used and the slope instability already The Site vulnerable.

"on top of that, the rains were so heavy that they caused flooding and landslides," said Lorenzo Guadango the IOM.

climate scientists say the monsoon rains in South Asia are always unpredictable.

In the Middle East , two heavy storms in a week brought rain, wind and snow hit informal settlements of Syrian refugees in Arsal, Lebanon, in January of this year.

"Some People had torn their tents or broken. Other People had flooded their tents. Some People are leaving. and moved the tents to their relatives'. There is No Doubt that The Situation was very difficult," Hiba fares, a UNHCR official on the ground explained.

on the road

It is not only refugees and displaced persons, the protection in camps that were affected.

People in transit from one place to another are also hit by extreme weather conditions

Humanitarian agencies cite the example of the Cyclone Kenneth hits the Northern part of Mozambique in the last April.

officials with the ICRC, said the People , who had fled, were taken, the violence in the province of Cabo Delgado in the Northern part of the country in the year 2017 by The Cyclone .

"Some People were on the road, while others were temporarily settled in the villages, and they were struck by The Cyclone ," said Mr Sow of the ICRC.

"Today, there are 60,000 such displaced People fled from the violence in the Northern part of the country, and they all fear that they might be hit by extreme weather events. "

A study of the UNHCR also found that People can be displaced for reasons other than Natural Disasters - including refugees, stateless and internally displaced persons often are in Climate Change "hotspots" and exposed to a secondary displacement.

Of the 28 million new internally displaced persons around The World in the past year, 17. 2 million had to due to disasters. Around 90% of this was related to the weather.

The United Nations puts the total number of People forcibly displaced worldwide to More Than 70 million euros.

The World body has not yet displaced People by natural and weather-related disasters, to recognize as refugees.

- the point of No return

In some of the temporary camps, displaced People were found, the return is not ready, even after the end of The Conflict and the violence, because their original homes are now affected by severe weather.

"In the refugee Camp in Sudan's Darfur, for example, if the displaced People that the region in which they came, is no longer habitable due to the acute drought, they have refused to come," said Rofaida Elzubair with Practical Action, an international non-governmental organisation, the support for municipalities in the Sudan to adapt to Climate Change .

"you do not want to go back after the end of The Conflict , and as a result, the UN has the closure of the Camp had to be delayed. "
