One house, three bedrooms, 24 kids

Near TRIPOLI, Libya -

This young boy is one of more than two dozen children living in this three-bedroom home still under construction in Libya. While they have no plumbing, they are fortunate to have a roof over their heads. Their families fled violence in their hometown of Tuarga in northern Libya and, like thousands of others, have found temporary housing with other Libyans.

For more on what the International Rescue Committee is doing to help in post-Gaddafi Libya, read IRC in Libya to help those who've fled fighting.
