The Za’atari refugee Camp in Jordan is a desert transformed into a city.
Opened less than a year ago to house 20,000 refugees, today, 10,000 tents and as many caravans later, it holds over 120,000 people.
To mark World Refugee Day, the High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres visited a family that arrive shortly after the camp opened,

UNHCR’s Special Envoy Jolie met another family
Their four-month year old daughter Farah was born in Za’atari.
The family fled after a mortar hit their house traumatizing their four-year old son and leaving him deaf.
His mother Mouna says her children still live with the fearful memory of aerial bombardments.
At a joint press conference Jolie pleaded for action.

Around the world the total number of refugees and internally displaced persons is now more than 45 million, the highest in 18 years.
The refugee disaster in Syria is now the focal point.
In the first six months of 2013 another million Syrian refugees have streamed out of their broken country.
Every 14 seconds a new refugee crosses a border, and the grim count grows.
