Secretary-General Visits Zaatari Refugee Camp in Jordan

28 March 2017

Secretary-General António Guterres speaks with school children during a visit to Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan.
There are close to 27,000 children of school age in Zaatari camp. UNICEF has established 14 school complexes to ensure a seat for every child.
Opened in 2012, Zaatari refugee camp is the largest camp for Syrian refugees in Jordan and was set up in response to the initial mass exodus of refugees across the border. Since its opening, Zaatari camp has evolved from a collection of tents into a structured settlement providing temporary home to 80,000 refugees.
