An estimated 165,000 Sahrawis live in refugee camps - El Aaiun, Awserd, Smara, and Dakhla - in the desolate Sahara desert in southwest Algeria. According to UNICEF about 80 percent of them are women and children. The refugees remain "the longest are housed refugee groups in the world stuck in a remote part of the Sahara where temperatures can reach up to 50 degrees Celsius."
