  I took this photo during my visit to Zaatri camp, two Syrian refuge women are getting hygiene kit from UNICEF. I hope that all Syrian refugees back home safely to enjoy their real hygiene life.

  • "Someone Who has a Comment's Facebook Page" - Mister So and So, you and I know very well that there are many Jordanian women have a worst life than what we see in Zaatri. The bad thing is that the world knows Zaatari camp and the difficult life that the Syrian have there and at the same time the world does not know that many Jordanian live in this area with less standards than Zaatri. The other bad thing in Jordan is that our appointed government hides the truth about the living standards of Jordanians. In this picture I see the ladies getting some support but in our area our people do not get any thing...they donate every thing even they donated their home country.

    
    

    
    

    No longer the post however I cannot change the format. 

    
    

    This is what I saw on my Facebook wall today. I have little issue posting it on my blog since this comment and discussion was posted on a public domain, Facebook. However, I did change names because I do want to respect people's privacy. I believe that this Facebook discusses a major point of contention in Jordan at the moment. Many Jordanians are upset about the Syrian Refugee crisis in Jordan. While there are agencies making sure that the Syrian people receive food and water, Jordanians who live in rural areas do not have agencies making sure that their basic needs are being met. Jordanians feel that their limited resources are being given to Syrian people. There is a type of Jordan first attitude among some Jordanians at the moment. Many people are protesting or complaining about the amount of Refugees in Jordan at the moment. That was event yesterday during my visit at the University of Jordan. 

    
    

    However, Jordan has always and will definitely continue to look after its Arab brothers and will not turn people away from its borders. The looking after the Arab Brother's idea is actually in the Hashemite Family Constitution.  It will be interesting to see how the monarchy is going to balance this compassion with the fact that its citizens are concerned about limited water and resources for Jordanians.  Jordanians have been giving and giving to many refugee groups: Iraqi, Sudanese, Afgani, Egyptian and now Syrian. I feel that people are starting to feel less giving now. The Jordanians are at their limit. Honestly, I think everyone would be concerned in this situation. The Jordanians are great people, but are worried about how they will feed themselves and quench their thirst. Jordan is one of the most water poor contrives in the world, and that is always on a Jordanian's mind. Small towns, such as Irbid and Ma'an are starting to protest the vast number of refugees entering Jordan as it very much effects the rural communities. Most people living in Amman have families living in the villages and are very aware of the issues. It is constantly talked about at dinners and teas. 

    
    

    Maybe on the 26th when Obama and Abdullah meet there will be some sort of help package for Jordan. It would be in the United States interest as they would want to keep their ally, Jordan, politically stable. The Jordanian people have been patient when it comes to political and economic reforms, but people are beginning to feel a bit more frustrated now.
