Reports from the Field: Jordan
The border between Syria and Jordan is a place of uncertainty. After escaping violence in Syria, refugees at the border find immediate safety, but their futures are still in peril. Here at USCRI, we've seen far too many times that refugees' rights are forgotten during periods of transition. So we are traveling to the Syria/Jordan border to assess the situation on the ground. Below, USCRI's Reports from the Field: Jordan.
