A tent is not a place to call home - WFP

Many Syrian refugees fled to Jordan in search of safety, abandoning their homes, lands, and everything they held dear to save the lives of those they cared about. After their arrival, all of them including children, women, and elderly, were confronted with the reality of learning how to survive in a foreign land. Jordan was and is much more expensive than Syria, and without jobs to pay the rent, many people have had to leave the expense of cities to live on open land, constructing tents out of sheets, torn blankets, and plastic covers. These flimsy shelters are all they have to protect themselves from the boiling heat of summers and the freezing cold of the winters.
