Jordan erects first official Syrian refugee camp

2012-07-30 1 Dailymotion

As the Syrian conflict continues, more and more people are leaving their homes and seeking refuge abroad. <br /><br />Some just cross the borders, while others register officially as refugees. <br /><br />Jordanian officials have processed more than 150,000 refugees - the most of all of Syria's neighbours. <br /><br />In order to accomodate the influx of refugees that the community can no longer absord, Jordan has just opened its first official refugee camp specifically for Syrians. <br /><br />Currently, the 2000 tents will provide temporary housing to 10 000 refugees, but if the crisis escalates, the government could expand the camp, sheltering up to 113 000 Syrians.<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Nisreen el-Shamayleh reports from Zaatri, North Jordan.
