Mideast Jordan Syrian Refuges

Mideast Jordan Syrian Refuges

FILE - In a Thursday Aug. 2, 2012 file photo a Syrian refugee plays with her child in front of her family's tent in the Zaatari Syrian Refugee camp, in Mafraq, Jordan. The sudden surges in refugees flooding into Jordan has all but wiped out available housing in communities along the tree-lined frontier forcing it to hastily open the tent city, some 7 miles (11 kilometers) south of the border. The country has quietly absorbed more than 150,000 Syrians seeking shelter for the past year and that figure has grown daily by sometimes up to 2,000. (AP photo/Mohammad Hannon, File)
