Life in the biggest Syrian refugee camp in the world
A family share their experience of living in the biggest Syrian refugee camp in the world for nine years. Za’atari refugee camp opened a decade ago in Jordan.
It's 10 years since Za’atari refugee camp was set up in Jordan to take in the thousands of people fleeing Syria because of the civil war. It's now the biggest camp for Syrian refugees. Mayada Masalmeh and her family arrived in 2013 from their hometown just over the border, thinking it would be a short stay. Laura Jones hears from Mayada and her daughter.
With thanks to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Arabic's Diala Al-Azzeh and Randa Darwish.
