S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The Zaatari refugee camp, in Jordan, currently holds 81,000 Syrians, and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) released, on the place\u2019s third birthday, this week, that it is overcrowded. According to the UN office, living conditions for the more than half million refugees that live in Jordan\u2019s urban areas are getting harder, which has the consequence of increasing the numbers in the camps, such as Zaatari, where there are more aid. <\/p>\n
UNHCR points out that the last research showed that 86% of urban refugees live below the poverty line. \u201cWith Zaatari\u2019s overcrowding, the number of refugees in search of shelter in Jordan\u2019s second camp, Azraq, increased in the first six months of the year\u201d, said the UNHCR\u2019s spokesperson, Adrian Edwards. In the first half of the year, almost four thousand people returned to Azraq coming from urban areas. <\/p>\n
