August 09, 2013 - Zarqa, Jordan: A syrian refugee works at the communal kitchen of Mrigb Al-Fuhud refugee camp, also known as Emirates-Jordanian camp, 20 kilometres east of the Jordanian city of Zarqa. Many refugees have been offered jobs inside the camp in a intent to bring some normality to their lives. At this kitchen, several meals are prepared daily to be distributed for free among all the camp's residents.
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)
