Ground Zero Syria (Part 10) - Za'atari Refugee Camp
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- If the severity of a conflict can, at least in part, be measured by the number of refugees it creates, the Za'atari camp in Jordan is a disturbing reflection of just how bad the civil war in Syria has gotten. When it opened, Za'atari had just 100 families. Today, it has about 120,000 residents. Located 18 miles south of the Syrian border, it's the fourth largest city in Jordan and the second largest refugee camp in the world.
Since July 2012, when the camp was opened by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the Jordanian government, Za'atari has become home for the huge numbers of Syrians who've fled the violence and trauma of their country's civil war since it began in March 2011.
Robert King visited the Za'atari refugee camp just 72 hours after the sarin gas attack in Damascus forced even more Syrians out of their homes.

Ground Zero Syria is a series where we've compiled photojournalist and videographer Robert King's footage into a series of raw, largely unedited vignettes that present a snapshot of the ancient city as it crumbles and burns while its citizens are killed indiscriminately.

Man, I feel sorry for the innocent civilians having to only choose between a dictator and some Muslim extremists.
Probably the most logical/mature comment in this comment section.
at least there camp looks ok...the world has come along alot in its caring for displaced people
It is terrible, i felt extremely sad for the children, crying for them. Five siblings, lost their parents and there is not even a relative to take care of them. Horrible psychological trauma for them. Thank you Vice to show this misery to the world. 2:41
As one human talking to another human I really do hope things get better for them, no person deserves to live like that
The Soccer coach is an ideal example of a good heart along with the man who is running the water cleaning ,they choose to serve others instead of lick their own wounds and live for themselves..
I feel bad to know i am an Arab muslim, and can't help this people ,when other countries like France send doctors ect ect ...
Hey It's us now
Cant even imagine what it must be like for them kids. They dont even have a relatives with them my prayers go iut to them
So sad to see children caught up in this. I have a 4 year old daughter and it literally brings a tear to my eye to think about her having to go through what these kids have gone through. I cant believe people do this to each other.
i think i am really deep in love with that french lady doctor
I love this guy's coverage of what's going on. Wish more people saw it.
Why are they acting like this is horrible conditions? I know that it isn't good but when my family was in a refugee camp, There was barely any clean water, They had very little food and almost no clothing. These people have livestock and a market with fruits and vegetables, They have schooling and actual buildings!
More people should watch this..
This is devastating for the people. It's a real shame that we still live in a world of pain and suffering. And without sounding disrespectful, that french soldier/medic is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen!
Heavy. Amazingly resilient people.
ANYONE NOTICE THE COUNTERSTRIKE 1.6 CT AT 1:26
??!!!
Interesting documentary.
lol, thats the #1 form of entertainment for syrians CS Lan.
(إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ\
Great series of videos, bring more plz
Wow, these Vice videos humanize a war that we Americans only hear sound bites about on the evening news. These people need help and I can only hope that those with the means to do so are doing their best. Keep up the great videos
These videos make me appreciate how fortunate I am compared to these middle eastern countries...
I will search for more about it... Nice video
hats off to vice, good job!
As someone who went to a Jewish private school for the majority of my 17 year old life, I can say that I agree. We must relinquish nationalities, we are all Humans. Earthlings are our nationality.
this kind of VICE is what I was waiting for. thank you for showing me what is going on around the WORLD.
thank you
please dont talk of ignorance when it is obviously a quality that you so proudly hold
Wow, it looks like District 9.
9:38 dat touch tho!
"Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace." -Bill Hicks
I want more of all
How can i help donate money to get some supplies to these people and the hospitals????
Human appeal is a charity check out there website.
I'm sure the conditions in the refugee camp aren't ideal, but at least it's better than Syria at the moment. Hopefully, this will all end soon and they will be able to return to their homes.
There are a few incredibly inspirational people who are interviewed in these shorts. The soccer coach, sanitation engineer and French military psychiatrist appear as people responding in goodwill instead of violence to a shitty situation.
you should watch all of the episodes in the series....
you saw the when the kid put up the Victory sign
and the guy walked by and slapped his hand down
it really sets in the reality
that was pretty good, cheers.
Syria good country with good peoples.
Well said.
There is people all around that just can't live in peace with one another.
Its sad to see the children dealing with this..
It takes a village to raise a child, yet a mother is better.
A great machine who makes.. soldiers.
War zone Kids have too much luggage .feel sorry for them that they have witness such a horrible things.
This fight have nothing to do with religion. it has to do with power.
Rafael Camilo just like the worst wars in history. Few have had to do with religion.
If we only could take all the energy we put into wars and hatefulness and put it into good humanitarian activities we as people on this earth could be such an advanced society all together
Pioneer kind of guy with the water filtration system. He was a prisoner but turned his life around even in that refugee camp. Sick.
So sad I wish I could help these ppl
war is peace
freedom is slavery
ignorance is strength... and everythign you just said
These are Syrian civilians,Innocents, Blame the Rebels,The FSA ,that are pouring in from all the neighboring countries! The ones that truly suffer from all this are the children, & Syria Civilians.
is that the last part of the Ground Zero Syria series?
watch next~
All the people of the world are Gods children. It's when this world polutes our heart with hate do we become far from God. Islam and Christianity are different but it's about culture. We all need to allow each other to believe what we want. There is no where for people, in a lot of the world, to have the freedom to believe and say what they believe in, without fear of dying or beong locked up. The world needs understanding, wisdom, and love. I pray we acheive this before it's too late.
Is this a Robert king story? Sounds like him. If so that's awesome, didn't know he works for vice
this war needs to end!
This camp reminded me of the movie District 9...
1:26
That Counter Strike drawing ;D
this is not even a comment from someone blind, this person must've been born without eyes.
I am totally ignorant in terms of what to do in these situations. However, I think a good idea would be rather than selling stuff to each other (they are refugees! How do they find work or even money?), a small community-like system where tasks are shared and people earn their keep (food,materials,beddings,clothing etc) by working to help maintain the camp. Making them self-sufficient so they don't have to worry about water,food and other basic necessities of life. Get a few gardens going, send cattle and other farm animals, the necessary machinery to make fabrics and other items and teach them to be good to each other in this terrible, harsh situation that they are all going through together. Kids could work 1~2 hours a day, the older kids taking care of the younger ones. People can contribute what they can and work out a fair system based on health,age, number of kids and all that. When your country, your president and your geographical neighbours give up on you, the only way to build back is with organization and a community spirit. I will keep watching what happens and I hope for the best.
Communism. And it sounds great on paper, erm, Macbook?--it really does.
doctapfizz HAHA of course!
This is one of the main reasons why I will never complain about shit
Except, like every media outlet, they are biased. But its ok, because its entertaining.
does anyone know how i can get in touch with the soccer coach in the video !! please please, if anyone can help that would be appreciated .
Both sides have done terrible things to each other, but i think the point of this video was not to draw attention to just assad and his forces, but the fact that innocent civilians are being punished for an ideological struggle, that some of them dont want any part of.
yes!
may the FSA and SAA both be condemned for putting these children through such a rough childhood...... makes me sick
It's not about religion for me, your free to choose in my eyes. These are family people suffering because of civil war. Be careful what you say in life because karma can come back and bite you
Chris Henson Yes but the civil war is about religion. It's wasn't at first but it is now.
Like y'all are better than them think twice before you say anything, just be nice
how come propaganda? Vice supposed to show THE OTHER SIDE of the mainstream news and you are saying this?
that French nurse looked gooood
War is horrible
Sorry but that isn't true. While Christians may have it better under Assad, it was certainly far from a perfect setting of religious tolerance. Many people including Christians were imprisoned and tortured due to criticisms against the military regime. Muslims and Christians may have been treated equally but that could just mean they were oppressed equally too. Also I think you're exaggerating the FSA's war crimes and getting them confused with the Jihadi groups in Syria. There's a difference.
6:47 that man is so cute :D
Misery M. Today he's probably died.
the games possible...
"uiiiiiiiioooooh, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, uiiimmmmm" is all I hear from that French doctor.
this makes me sad :(
What a dream that is.
Is it just me or did that dude speak some wise ass shit to those kids. I mean damn! that was some ancient monk/guru shit. I'm glad they have a great teacher
sorry byt I'm really curious why you capitalized some of those letters. is it an acronym? AUIYAMECAC
you sir, just won the internet :D
but that being said there wasn't really any FSA propaganda in this episode, they were just showing what life was like for the refugees in this camp
You didn't answer the question.
Please clarify EXACTLY what Maliki "circumcision" entails, without going to Google.
Just to be clear so that you cannot dodge the question; What do Maliki's define as female circumcision?
@Ad de and that's vices fault how?
i am syrian , and all of what this man's saying is true
he even used military jets to bomb civians areas in syria
I wish Vice would just release the whole video at once. I'm sick of watching 10-15 minute segments then waiting days or weeks for the next installment. Journeyman news doesn't do that crap. Vice is like riding a bus to get somewhere, with a shitload of stops on route.
Fine line between 'news and propaganda'.
lol Counter Strike at 1:28. I always had feeling that I could be playing with people who actually live in those areas.
01:27 IS THAT A COUNTER STRIKE LOGO LMAO
says the appeal to emotion argumentative fallacy that everyone should look out for
all i ever hear about is atrocities and war crimes being committed by both sides. there's been so many of them that no one knows who to believe (honestly) about which side did the recent chemical weapons attack. i think that the stories in syria are actually typical for a war. it would be nice if government leaders would quit treating war like it was a game to them and try to imagine if they had to be sent over there to fight. hopefully peace will be resolved soon.
Never, vice doesnt want you to know that.
Every country goes through a civil war at some point.
Can someone please excuse my ignorance and tell why this is biased?
sharp eyes.. didn't notice
We might as well convert and begin the khalifat....
i wish the world was like in the 60's...
thank u for understanding the truth in our country
# 7:25 avenue des champs elisés , dat french irony, god that cracked me up lool
Sorry fot this, but i want to see more
Tradition is now blamed on religion and circumcision is now taken as mutilation. One word, IGNORANCE
1:26 apparently they play alot of counter strike in the refugee camp
Hasn't this already been uploaded? This is not new...
who started with the killing?
and also the regime doesn't allow anyone to report from their side, its either iranian or russian journalists.
Thank our gov for finding all this
I think I'm in love with that French Captain.
