Questions & Answers about این اردوگاه بحران‌زده به سرپناه نیز نیاز دارد.

Where exactly should I place نیز in a sentence?
نیز usually comes immediately after the word or phrase it adds to or emphasizes. Here, because the camp needs shelter in addition to other things, نیز directly follows سرپناه (shelter). If we were emphasizing that the camp itself (as well as other places) needs shelter, we would put نیز right after اردوگاه بحران‌زده.
Could I use هم instead of نیز here?
Yes, you could use هم, and the meaning would be exactly the same. However, نیز is much more formal and is typically used in written Farsi, news reports, or formal speeches. هم is what you would hear in everyday conversation.
How is the adjective بحران‌زده formed?
It is a compound made of بحران (crisis) and زده (struck or hit, from the verb زدن). You will see the -زده suffix used frequently in B2 and C1 texts to mean afflicted by or stricken by, such as in سیل‌زده (flood-stricken) or طوفان‌زده (storm-struck).
Why is there a به in front of سرپناه?
In English, you directly need something, but in Farsi, the compound verb نیاز داشتن (to have need) requires the preposition به (to/for) before the object. So literally, the sentence says the camp has need for shelter.
