Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

Dadaab is a large refugee complex located in eastern/northeastern Kenya. The Dadaab area contains multiple camps — including Ifo, Dagahaley and Hagadera — and was established in the early 1990s to host refugees fleeing conflict and drought in neighbouring Somalia. Contemporary reporting and UN sources likewise refer to “Kenya’s Dadaab refugee camps,” describing large recent influxes of Somali refugees and ongoing humanitarian operations in the Kenyan camp complex [1]. Thus, Dadaab is situated in Kenya, not in Ethiopia, Somalia or Sudan.
