Syrian refugees find home in Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan
Add to Cart Add to Lightbox DownloadAhlam Mazatha supervises the homework of her sons Mohammed, 13, and Abed Rahaman, 10, and her daughter Sarah, 5, in their small apartment in Madaba, a sprawling Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan that has grown in recent years with the arrival of refugees--like this family--from war-torn Syria. She and her husband and three children fled Daraa in 2013 when bombing destroyed their home. Mazatha was a teacher in Syria, and her husband owned a taxi, but in Jordan they are not allowed to work by the government. The Department of Service for Palestinian Refugees of the Middle East Council of Churches, a member of the ACT Alliance, provides a variety of services here, including medical care.
