To make things worse, they were ordered to go live in some big military camps. In those camps there wasn’t enough space for them to live, they slept on the ground and it was either very cold or very hot. There were no medicines when they got sick and the food was even less than the food they had in their own countries. But worse of all was that the camps were so distant that one had to walk almost an entire day to meet others! And even if you did that, the Men with Guns would find you and would take you back. Some of these camps were very isolated, like prisons, surrounded by fences so that the Men with Guns would not have to bother returning to the camps, the People from Faraway, every now and then.
Whoever escaped found refuge in the big cities.
