JARAMANA, Syria, 21 July 2008 -- Noujoud Moh\'d is a Palestinian refugee residing in the Jaramana camp in Syria. Like the other 5,000 refugees living in the official camp -- as well as the nearly 17,000 living outside in an unofficial camp -- she and her family endure overcrowded housing, poverty and limited work opportunities. Ms. Moh\'d, who did not complete her schooling, relies on the assistance of United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to provide food aid and cash assistance to meet her family\'s basic needs. These services constitute a central resource for most families here, which they have no means of replacing. She also relies on UNRWA\'s free medical care. UNICEF partners with UNRWA and the General Authority for Palestinian Arab Refugees to provide the camps in Syria with the necessary vaccinations and cold-chain equipment to store and preserve supplies of vaccines. In addition, UNICEF has trained almost 140 health workers and provided physiotherapy equipment to four UNRWA community rehabilitation centres, among other support. Basic health care and medical knowledge provided by UNICEF helps improve the lives of mothers and children already struggling in a landscape of unemployment, poverty and overcrowding.

ZARQA, Jordan, 7 July 2008 -- Zarqa camp is the oldest Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan. Families live in tiny brick houses constructed with asbestos roofing and often suffer from overcrowding and extreme poverty. Young people in the camp have little opportunity for safe play and interaction with their peers. This is why the camp\'s Social Development Centre is working to provide an adolescent-friendly space, supported by UNICEF in partnership with the Norwegian government. The Adolescent-Friendly Learning Center provides young people with training on children\'s rights, photography, communication skills and conflict resolution -- with the aim of having a long-lasting effect on the youth of the camp. \"I joined this centre because I like its activities,\" said Hussein Mustafa abu Galion, who attends the tenth grade in Zarqa. \"During school days, when I finish school, I come straight to the center.\" To read the full story, visit: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/jordan_44715.html [More] [Less]

All rights reserved to cpb The Frontiers Of Dreams & Fears A movie by Mai Masri This clip is taken from that film (in case you want to look it up); it\\\\\\\'s about refugees in Lebanon meeting with their families and relatives from occupied Palestine after the liberation of the South in Lebanon They are meeting at the borders where the fences are created by the Israelis between the borders of Lebanon and Palestine. I couldn\\\\\\\'t upload the whole movie for many reasons one of them is size, but I\\\\\\\'ll try to cut some of it I can\\\\\\\'t talk about why and what this movie is about. You see for your self and judge how shattered families are, and how it feels to see someone you love on the other side and you can\\\\\\\'t even hug them, while you know that none of you had done anything to deserve such a treatment except that u\\\\\\\'r Palestinian. Sorry for the delay between audio ad video, but it\\\\\\\'s the only version i have. [More] [Less]
