Rather than directly enlightening the situation of the Syrian War, this article focuses the situation of the Zaatari camp. The Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan is about 6 miles south of the Syria border. Since the camp’s location is close, thousands of Syrian refugees arrive there seeking for surgical management or relief from war trauma. For those who are seeking medical treatment, some information was provided on the procedure. The injuries these refugees experienced are described in more detail because the analysis was provided at a more secure place.

Something unique about this article is this provides statistics on the patients’ characteristics and surgical procedures. Thousands of Syrian refugees are being taken care of in the Zaatari camp, so the statistics provided in this article is accurate. I plan on using these statistics to describe the pain and suffering these refugees have gone through. Images are also posted on this website, so I can visibly see the exterior and interior of the camps.
