Where the war still echoes<\/a> is a documentary produced by IRIN<\/a>, a news service run by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs .<\/p>\n

The documentary series follows a family of Syrian refugees over the course of a year, from their arrival to Za\u2019atari camp in Jordan in December 2012.\u00a0Selim\u00a0and Leila were farmers in Der\u2019aa, southwest Syria, until the day their village was shelled by government forces and they decided to leave the country. After a terrifying nighttime journey on foot through government-held territory, escorted by the Free Syrian Army, Selim, Leila and their eight children arrived in Za’atari, a sprawling tented camp which is now home to more than 110,000 refugees.<\/p>\n

The series provides an intimate view of their struggles to adjust to camp life and the traumatic effects of the conflict back home, as well as the pressure felt by Selim to return and join the rebellion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
