The camps were characterized by severe overcrowding, poor sanitation, inadequate food rations, and a lack of medical care, leading to massive outbreaks of measles, typhoid, and dysentery.
Nearly 26,000 Boer women and children died, while over 20,000 Black Africans died.
Some sources claim that actual death toll would be 42,081-47,900
the British operated concentration camps in the South African Republic, Orange Free State, Colony of Natal, and Cape Colony
