There is the Zaatari camp in Jordan, the camp in Turkey and the camp in Lebanon. A number of the neighbouring countries, most notably Jordan, have taken a large number of Syrian nationals into their communities. They have been located in people's homes, especially where there is a sort of racial connection. There has been a good response from the neighbouring countries that are under stress themselves. The United Nations is involved in all the camps on the borders. UNICEF and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement are also very much involved. All of these organisations are extremely active in all of these camps. They are seeking to engage internally in Syria as well at present. We must not forget the work of our own agencies. GOAL has received permission from Turkey to work there and across the border in Syria as a registered agency. Oxfam and UNICEF, with which we are very much related, are very active there as well.
