VIDEO: Born a Refugee
UNICEF and partners are working tirelessly all over the world to save and protect children.
Protecting children with vaccines is particularly important in refugee camps, where disease can spread quickly. Children in their earliest years are the most vulnerable to contracting communicable diseases in challenging living environments.
UNICEF has supported the healthy growth and development of children and youth in Azraq refugee camp since it opened in 2014. UNICEF provides water, sanitation and hygiene, child protection, education, immunization, health and nutrition, youth and adolescent services and social protection to the 22,000 children who live there with their families.
