Problem.

The present description does not distinguish this 
'*amenity=refugee_site*' from amenity=social_facility and 
social_facility=shelter.


I would think amenity=refugee_site is an area set aside for the 
non-temporary residential use of refugees. *
*

The meaning of 'temporary' is not stated in the wiki for 
social_facility=shelter so there will be some uncertainty as to where 
teh different lies.

*
*

Possibly the 'area' can be used? A**social_facility=shelter could from 
the wording be considered a single structure? The 'amenity=refugee_site' 
could be stipulated as many structures i.e. mare than 3?
