Yes, this is tagging for the renderer - the renders were needed fast and 
"tourism=camp_site" was rendered by existing renderers whereas the proper tag 
for refugee camps was not. So this practical if slightly messy workaround has 
been used. This issue is explained in the wiki page.

I guess that the rendering of emergency and humanitarian tags will be discussed 
later, once this crisis will have settled down. Maybe a patch to an existing 
renderer will be developped and kept ready for such use.
