The refugees have been clamouring for better food and medicines for the past two weeks.

The preposition 'from' is not normally used with the present perfect and present perfect continuous tenses. Instead, we use since and 'for'. 

'From' is used to say when something begins / began. 

'For' is used to say how long something lasts / lasted.
