Dadaab (Somali: Dhadhaab) is a semi-arid town in Garissa County, Kenya. It is the site of a UNHCR base hosting 302,805 registered refugees and asylum seekers in three camps (Dagahaley, Hagadera and Ifo) as of 31 October 2023,[1] making it one of the largest in the world behind Kutupalong refugee camp.[2][3][4][5] The centre is run by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and its operations are financed by foreign donors.[6] In 2013, UNHCR, the governments of Kenya and Somalia signed a tripartite agreement facilitating the repatriation of Somali refugees at the complex.[7]
