Middle East Refugee Camps in Bitter Winter – Women Struggle for Family Warmth, Health, Food, Spirit
How does it feel to be so cold that you and your children can hardly sleep? You try to maintain a sense of stability when you shiver, and the future is so uncertain. You had to escape for your family’s survival, but you were not prepared for blizzards. You endure the ice and snow and try to meet family needs as best you can. But, who nurtures YOU??

A refugee family gathers around a fire for warmth, for
cooking. A bruising winter storm arrived to the Middle East on Thursday, with
temperatures reaching below freezing and the past weeks rain turning into snow
and ice. The freezing temperatures are difficult to escape in the confines of
tents that 120,000 refugees call home at Zaatari refugee camps. The winter
storms are adding the misery of sleepless cold nights to the people who are
already going through hardships in Jordan.
