Ikea designs refugee shelters
These 17.5 square meters huts provide accommodation for five people. They have a cost of 1,200 euros and are equipped with Ikea furniture like beds and mattresses. These shelters can last up to three years, while the current UN tents only last about six months due to weather conditions.
