Any situations or examples of a lack of beds, e.g. disaster relief, refugee camps etc.?

I am developing a low-cost, portable and durable bed for homeless people in the UK. We would also like to look at using it overseas in a humanitarian development context. Obviously the more pressing needs are food, clean water, sanitation, shelter etc., but does anyone have any experience of a context when a bed might be useful?

Many thanks
