What did the British army do to enemy families during the Boer War near the end of Victorias reign?

During the Boer War (1899-1902), the British army implemented a scorched earth policy and established concentration camps, where they interned Boer families, particularly women and children. This was aimed at depriving the Boer fighters of support and resources. The camps were often poorly managed and suffered from overcrowding, leading to high mortality rates due to disease and malnutrition. The actions taken by the British army were controversial and have been criticized as brutal and inhumane.
