Jordan is hosting more than 600,000 of the 4.6million Syrians who have registered with the UN as refugees since the civil war broke out in the country five years ago

Residents inside the massive camp receive approximately 15.5 tonnes of bread every day to help keep them fed  
More than 3,000 businesses have sprung up inside the camp, including a pizza delivery service, barber shops and even a wedding shop 
King Abdullah of Jordan said looking after the estimated 1.4million refugees in Jordan was costing 25 per cent of the country's budget

WHERE ARE THE 4.6M REFUGEES WHO HAVE FLED SYRIA?

  • Turkey: 2.5million
  • Lebanon: 1.01million
  • Jordan: 635,000
  • Iraq: 244 642
  • Serbia: 276,000

But the Jordanian government says there are another one million unregistered Syrians living in the country, which has a population of 9.5million, and fear more will arrive due to the estimated 13.5million vulnerable and displaced people who remain in Syria. 
 The Al Zaatari camp is on the northern border with Syria. Jordan says there are a total of 1.4million refugees in the country, which has a population of 9.5million
