Syrian refugees in Jordan

August 08, 2013 - Zaatari, Jordan: A young syrian refugee passes by a jewellery shop at Zaatari refugee camp in northern Jordan. The shop is located on a street that aid workers have nicknamed the Champs Elysees, due to the hundreds of shops and businesses. Zaatari camp, home to more than 120,000 people who in the past year have fled the conflict in Syria, become the fourth largest city in Jordan and the world's second largest refugee camp behind Dadaab in eastern Kenya. Most of its residents came from Daraa, a city about 30Km away in Syria, rich with businessmen thanks to a long history of cross-border trade with Jordan. (Paulo Nunes dos Santos/Al Jazeera)
