Syria’s abandoned children: Portraits of just some of the millions of youngsters displaced and left with no education by their country’s civil war


  • More than 50,000 children now call Jordan's Zaatari refugee camp near the border with Syria their home
  • Amal Qalloosh, 11, fled her home near the city of Daraa with her family after a government bombing
  • Some children work in Zaatari while the lucky are allowed to attend a school at the camp

    More than 50,000 children under the age of 18 call the wind-swept, massive desert camp home. 
    All have stories about the war, like 11-year-old Amal Qalloosh, who fled her home near the city of Daraa with her family after a government bombing.
