ZAATARI REFUGEE CAMP, Jordan — A young Syrian salesman stopped into Ahmad Bidawi’s barbershop for a shave the other day. Music wafted on fan-cooled air. Outside, on what has become the main commercial strip here in one of the world’s largest refugee camps, workers steered handcarts packed with lumber and kitchen appliances through sunbaked crowds hanging out in front of shops.

The scene could hardly have felt further from the mayhem across the border that Mr. Bidawi, like the other refugees, fled. Syria is only a few miles away. From the camp one can feel the shelling. A farmer back home and jack-of-all-trades, Mr. Bidawi arrived here with his wife and children a year ago, only to have his youngest daughter die in the camp, overwhelmed by tear gas fired when guards struggled to quell a riot. Everyone in Zaatari has horror stories about homes destroyed, family members lost and bad times in the camp.

Ma rencontre avec Zaatari : chronique d’une curiosité géographique

Il y a 6 mois, le camp de réfugiés de Zaatari devenait mondialement connu et médiatisé à la suite de la visite de John Kerry[1]. Il y a 6 mois, le camp de #réfugiés de Zaatari devenait le centre de mes attentions alors que ma sœur s’y rendait dans le cadre d’une mission humanitaire[2]. C’est la chronique de ce « même temps », fruit des aller-retour entre les informations disponibles sur internet, le vécu tout personnel d’une expérience familiale, et les interrogations géographiques qu’il a soulevées que je me décide enfin à partager.

#Zaatari, Syrian Refugee Camp In Jordan, Slowly Becomes City

ZAATARI CAMP, Jordan — ZAATARI CAMP, Jordan (AP) — The manager of the region’s largest camp for Syrian refugees arranges toy figures, trucks and houses on a map in his office trailer to illustrate his ambitious vision. In a year, he wants to turn the chaotic shantytown of 100,000 into a temporary city with local councils, paved streets, parks, an electricity grid and sewage pipes.

Syria crisis: Zaatari refugee camp manager answers readers’ questions | Global development | theguardian.com

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has warned that more than a million Syrian children are facing “catastrophic” life in exile, missing out on education, being forced in to work and facing loneliness and discrimination. Children who live in camps and those living in host communities both face the same problems.

Zaatari camp manager Kilian Kleinschmidt thinks the Syria’s refugee crisis is best understood through the behaviour of children. He says: ‘‘The moral, traditional and societal values of the community is unravelling. It is losing its bearings. And as the community has become dysfunctional – so have the children.’’

[...]
Are we looking at a lost generation? What are Zaatari’s children missing out on? How can traumatised children have space to be children again? Kleinschmidt will also be answering general questions about Zaatari camp, Jordan’s “fifth city’’ with its very own Champs-Elysées shopping area. What would you like to know?

Les ambitions du UNHCR pour Zaatari, le méga-camp de réfugiés En Jordanie

The manager of the region’s largest camp for Syrian refugees arranges toy figures, trucks and houses on a map in his office trailer to illustrate his ambitious vision. In a year, he wants to turn the chaotic shantytown of more than 100,000 people into a temporary city with local councils, paved streets, parks, an electricity grid and sewage pipes.

The Zaatari Refugee Camp near Jordan’s border with Syria, is far from that ideal. Life is tough here. The strong often take from the weak, women fear going to communal bathrooms after dark, sewage runs between pre-fab trailers and boys hustle for pennies carting goods in wheelbarrows instead of going to school.

But with Syria’s civil war in its third year, the more than 2 million Syrians who fled their country need long-term solutions, said Kilian Kleinschmidt, who runs Zaatari for the UN refugee agency.

“We are setting up... a temporary city, as long as people have to be here,” said Kleinschmidt, a 51-year-old German. The veteran of conflict zones is getting help from urban planners in the Netherlands.

Syrian Refugees Struggle at #Zaatari Camp

About 120,000 Syrians are calling the tents and trailers of the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan home, at least for the foreseeable future.
