description Proposes that the fate of the Rwandan refugees in Goma in 1994 illustrates the limitations of the refugee-camp approach, and suggests that alternatives should be considered. Describes the situation in Guinea, where about 500,000 refugees from Liberia and Sierra-Leone have settled over the past five years. The government has not created camps, but instead gives support to villages that welcome refugees, and offers the refugees free access to existing health centres and hospitals, an approach which appears to have been relatively successful.
