To better serve people displaced by disasters, whether natural or man-made, aid agencies are developing innovative shelters. These solutions are designed to be more durable, cheaper and easier to assemble and procure.
Here are some examples of innovative humanitarian shelters.
When Devex reported about this solution, it was still undergoing testing. Now, as per a press release issued in late March, production was ready to begin and that the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees looks to start deliver the 10,000 units it has ordered in the summer of 2015.
