Jordan opens a third refugee camp in the middle of the desert for tens of thousands more Syrians expected to flee their countryâs civil war, highlighting the staggering effect the refugee problem is having on Syriaâs neighbors. The new, sprawling facility complete with solid caravans and a supermarket, is designed to accommodate up to 130,000 people and potentially become the worldâs second largest refugee camp.

The conflict in Syria has forced two and a half million people to flee the country. Neil Gaiman visits two refugee camps in Jordan run by UNHCR and hears the stories of some of those who have escaped the violence and terror to rebuild their lives in these cities in the desert.
