Syrian refugees need help now more than ever

Last year I travelled to Jordan with UNHCR to meet Syrian refugees living in Azraq camp. I learnt so much from that visit, and I saw what it looks like to have resilience in the face of unimaginable difficulty.
Like everyone else I had no idea that in 2020 all our lives would be turned upside down by the coronavirus pandemic, or that the trip would be one of the last times I would travel for the rest of the year.
Perhaps that’s why the people I met in Jordan have stayed with me, or perhaps it’s because the stories they shared were so heartbreaking and yet the families were so focused on what they had and not what they had lost, on making sure their children are safe and happy.
