Description :
She misses her father a lot. That is the reason why she asked to get a special necklace made in the camp, for which she paid herself and that says (in arabic): "my beloved father and mother" with two hearts on each side. "I like jewelry and nice clothes. I want to learn how to make necklaces like the one I have", she says.
The situation in the camp is overwhelming and dire. Since December 2018, more than 63,000 people arrived in the camp.
Today, about 74,000 people live here. Around 90% of those are women and children. An estimated two-thirds are children. The medical needs remain huge, including mother and child attention, surgery, mental health and physical rehabilitation. A particular concern is the large number of weapon-wounded patients who have limited access to surgical and post-surgical care.
