For us to stay overnight.
So...
Um, the one person
we can talk to
Is the local
district leader.
Just gotta pack
our stuff up
And go to his tent.
Is there any way
you can ask security
To let us stay
overnight in the camp?
Do you have any idea
why they would've
changed their minds?
after all of our planning,
Security changed
their mind,
And we couldn't
stay overnight in the camp.
Good-bye, district .
It was for our own safety.
We had to head
to the town of mafraq,
About seven miles
from za'atari.
It was disappointing,
A completely different
side of the refugee
crisis in jordan.
% of refugees
here live outside of camps,
In urban cities,
Relying on jordanian
generosity.
But in a country with high
unemployment and limited
resources,
How long can people
continue to welcome
in new refugees?
We had a hard time
finding anywhere to stay.
The city was so
crowded with syrians,
Rent prices had tripled
Since the war
Luckily, ibraheem
found us a storage room
In the back
of an office building
Where we could
spend our nights
for the next month.
-Thank you.
-We're making
some tea for you.
it wasn't long
Before people
started coming into our tent
To ask us questions
Or just say hi.
Right away, we
were a new source of amusement
For raouf and his friends.
Oh! Yeah!
feel like a routine.
Every day we'd
leave from mafraq late a
night...
And then be back
in the camp again
By a.M.
one of the first
Was this guy named
ismail, and it was--
It was wild, because ismail
looked just like my dad in
college.
And even acted like him.
They both love to cook.
What?
You're a master.
Beautiful.
Even had a very
similar sense of humor.
Before the war,
ismail was studying
At a university in
damascus to be a french teacher.
And as soon as the war started,
he had to flee the country,
Leaving everything
he knew behind.
He was one of the
first refugees in za'atari
When it opened
two years ago.
Why did you decide
to leave syria?
Was there a particular--
Like, when did you
choose to?
Was there a reason?
Something that happened?
every month,
tens of thousands
of people like ismail
Attempt the journey
out of syria.
% seek refuge
in egypt, lebanon,
Iraq, turkey and jordan.
With % of syria's
infrastructure destroyed
By the ongoing violence,
Families often spend
their entire savings on guides
Who will smuggle
them through the war zone
And eventually over the border
in the middle of the night.
We can proudly say that
when they come here,
That is when they can
actually breathe
And actually relax
