Torbat-e Jam (refugee camp)
Torbat-e Jam is an Afghan refugee camp in eastern Iran, established around 1998. The camp, as of 2008, housed 5,000 Afghan refugees on a 100-hectare compound of permanent brick housing, schools and clinics, and a mosque.[1]
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres visited the camp in late 2008 and described it as " probably the best refugee settlement in Iran, if not the world."[1]
