70,000 refugees in the Mbera refugee camp try to survive under tough conditions.
The number of individuals who took refuge in the camp at the Mauritanian border after the Malian army began ethnic cleanup in the north of Mali are lack in water and power.
Living in makeshift tents, shelter seekers try to survive with the daily food distribution of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Women carry on with their housework, such as washing clothes and cooking.
They supply water to wash from the water wells around the camp however once the hot air hits in the afternoon, they struggle to keep their food fresh.
Children spend their time by playing around and with each other.
In order to keep away from the sunshine, elderly head to the mosque and chat with others.
Malian refugees seek for the relief aid of international charities.
