Iraqi Children Living in Amman, Jordan

Iraqi youths in a Jordanian refugee camp painted a mural to reconnect with their rich, cultural heritage and to express their desire for a peaceful future. The simmering tensions between Shiites and Sunnis in the confines of the camps regularly erupt into violence. Almost all refugee children in Jordan have no access to education or health services.
