Syrian refugees in Jordan

August 09, 2013 - Zarqa, Jordan: Syrian refugees watch a news channel at the communal television room of Mrigb Al-Fuhud refugee camp, also known as Emirates-Jordanian camp, 20 kilometres east of the Jordanian city of Zarqa.
The 10 million USD camp, which has 750 caravans, a hospital, and a school and can take up to four thousand people, first opened in April 2013 and was paid for by the United Arab Emirates. Work is underway to house a total of 20 thousand by the end of the year.
In contrast with the two other camps in the area, Mrigb Al-Fuhud as been classified by many as a 'five star' camp due to impressive housing facilities provided to the refugees. (Paulo Nunes dos Santos/Al Jazeera)
