Save the Children of al-Aqsa Living in Baqa’a Camp
Since 1968 over 120,000 Palestinians have been pushed out of their homes and forced to take refuge in neighbouring Jordan. This camp is officially recognised by United Nations. Unfortunately, like any refugee camp, Baqa’a is no different. The conditions in the camp are extremely tough.
Due to its age Baqa’a is in better condition than many refugee camps from around the world. However, camp is a camp, it’s not like home. With no economy to support such a large number of people, all refugees are heavily dependent on international aid. Our aim is to continue to provide regular aid to the families so at some point in the future they might be able to take the step and move back to the holy land of Palestine.
