A day in Zaatari camp

@unhcr.org in 🇯🇴 has made available a dashboard that shows, realtime, what skills refugees who return to Syria have, and where their areas of origin (and likely return) are. This allows prospective employers in Syria to plan their workforce as they help reconstruct their country. Link in the comments

Let’s face it. It’s getting uncertain for humanitarian staff everywhere.
But while managers cannot promise certainty, they can promise transparency. A first step to transparency is a trusting relationship with staff representatives and peer advisers.

Countries that host many refugees, such as Jordan🇯🇴, bear hidden responsibilities no one ever talks about. E.g., 30 % of the babies and little boys and girls at the Al Hussein Social Foundation for Orphans in Amman, are refugees, yet in this loving home you wouldn’t be know.

Several refugee families left this morning for Syria. The High Commissioner happened to be in Amman and came to see them off. We waved goodbye, and as the buses left the station, we turned to leave ourselves. When we looked at each other, we realized that all of us had tears in our eyes.

About one hundred refugees left from Azraq camp in Jordan this morning, returning to Syria
Wishing them a safe journey

@ec.europa.eu Hadja Lahbib visited Zaatari camp 🇯🇴 yesterday and spoke with refugees, women, men and children, about their hopes for the future. Some want to return to Syria, others not. In any event, the smiles are brighter.

🏚️ Despite almost 14 years of conflict in Syria, hope endures.

As Syrians return to rebuild their lives in shattered communities, UNHCR is there to provide life-saving support and services.

Together, we can help turn hope into action.

Today I met three #volunteer #electricians, who have taken it upon themselves to fix the cabling in the homes of vulnerable #refugees in Zaatari refugee camp, in Jordan, to make them less prone to #fire accidents. Thank you!
