REImagine spending most of your childhood in a refugee camp. This is Nisreen’s reality, who’s lived in Azraq camp in Jordan for the last 10 years.
Nisreen arrived here in 2014, after she and her family escaped the conflict in Syria. “I remember arriving at the camp,” she says. “There was no electricity, just caravans instead of houses. It felt so wrong, so unsettling. It’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone.”
Now 19, Nisreen shares the profound impact the camp has had on her formative years. Azraq camp was opened 10 years ago today. A decade later, more than 40,000 Syrians living here remain in limbo, without long-term solutions, trapped in a cycle of hopelessness.
“Sometimes, I fear I’ll forget the world beyond the camp—the sight of houses, the cars, the crowded markets,” Nisreen shares.
