World Refugee Day Google Earth Tour


World Refugee Day is on the 20th June. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees have worked with Google to create a Google Earth tour that shows UNHCR's refugee camps across the globe.

The Google Earth tour helps to give a human face to refugees from seven different camps across Asia and Africa, allowing you a small insight into the lives of refugees.

Using the Google Gadget for the Google Earth plugin microformats.dk has created a website so that you can view the tour directly in your browser.
