This refugee camp, which sits approximately 50 kilometers inside the Jordanian border (near Iraq), initially housed over 700 refugees in its tents. The majority of these refugees were Iranian Kurds who were made refugees during the 1979 Iranian revolution when they fled to Iraq. There remains 110 Palestinian refugees in this camp, most of whom are also refugees two or three times over. The United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR) has resettled 1,000 refugees so far, but there still remains a sizable population in the camp. Unlike the other refugee camps inside Jordan, this one has a fence around it and the refugees are not allowed to leave it. Thus, it's like a prison.
