With
an estimated 120,000 refugees, Zaatari Syrian refugee camp is considered
to be the largest camp in the world located just few miles from the
Syrian borders. Talking to the families at the camp, all have left Syria
fleeing the shelling of the civil war that erupted in 2011. Almost
everyone left with nothing thinking they will only be in the camp for
few weeks. 2 years after the creation of the camp in 2012, Zaatari has
grown into a full blown self-made city to be the 5th largest city in
Jordan with all types of businesses that sprung up out of necessity.
Upon arrival at the Syrian Jordanian border, refugees are forced to walk
for approximately 9 hours in deep sand, mostly at night, to get to the
camp leaving behind the few belongings they thought they can physically
bring along with them. In a recent report, the UN estimated 6.5 million
people have been displaced in Syria, and more than 3 million fled to
Jordan and neighbouring counties, almost half the population of the
entire Syrian country.
