5. Refugee is a concept which is
associated with the verb to take refuge
(run away, take shelter, escape). The
term is used with reference to the
individual that, due to political
persecution, war or other life-threatening
situation, is forced to seek refuge
abroad.
In this case we will talk about refugees
fleeing their native country to escape the
dry season.

6. If we look at the Earth's surface, 71% of our
planet is water.
However, come from the ocean, only 3% is
freshwater.
To exacerbate the situation, of these 3%, most
are in glaciers and underground reserves.
For this reason - and also because of the
irregular distribution of water in the world -
there are several regions suffering from water
shortages, which involves territories from
various parts of the globe.

7. Among countries with
water shortages, the
countries of the Middle
East, a region with
many deserts and little
availability of water
resources, besides
some regions of Africa,
Asia and also of the
Americas.

water;
Arab Emirates with 58 m3 per
capita of water;
Bahamas with 66 m3 per
capita of water;
Qatar with 94 m3 per capita of
water;
Maldives with 103 m3 per
capita of water.

9. To combat water scarcity in the world,
there must be heavy investment by
governments in, treatment and
preservation of water resources,
given that access to water is a
universal right.
According to UN data, about 1.1
billion people suffer from the lack of
this important natural resource
(water).

region of the African
continent, known as the
Horn of Africa, is being
overloaded with refugees
camps in countries of that
region. Which ccontinuous
