A Photographer’s Look Inside the Zaatari Camp for Syrian Refugees
2 min readMay 19, 2016
The Zaatari camp for Syrian refugees is considered the fourth largest city in Jordan with a population of approximately 80,000 people.
In March, journalist and photographer Patrick Adams joined a group that visited the camp to learn more about the work of the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) to help meet the health needs of women, including pregnant and new mothers. UNFPA supports a comprehensive clinic for women that handles, on average, 6–10 births per day — among the many other services it provides.
Below are photos Adams took of life in the camp during his visit.
