There are still about 170 000 Malian refugees in Mali’s bordering states Algeria, Burkina Faso, Mauritania and Niger. Despite the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the refugee camps, the support for the inhabitants of the camps cannot be guaranteed. There is a great risk that the humanitarian crisis, triggered by the flows of refugees coming from Mali in the last year, is being forgotten. The refugees in the camps can neither move forward nor backward. Due to the ongoing conflict and uncertainties in their homeland, they cannot return, in the camps they are completely dependent on the fast decreasing help of international organisations.
