Video: See how UK aid is helping Syrian refugees in Zaatari, Jordan

There are cities in England as big as  the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan. It houses over 100,000 refugees from the Syrian conflict. In the video below UK International Development Secretary Justine Greening sees something of the work of the World Food Programme, UNICEF, UNHCR and the International Rescue Committee.

The UK has committed £500 million to help those affected by the conflict. This is the UK’s largest ever response to a humanitarian crisis. It will provide support including food, medical care and relief items for over a million people including those affected by the fighting in Syria and to refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq.
