The Swedish Royal Court about today, the last day
Statsbesök till Jordanien – dag*3 _ Kungahuset
In the Zaatari refugee camp over 80,000 people live in small square barracks. What was initially a few tents for the first hundred refugees who crossed the border in the desert landscape resembles a city ten years later.
- Most everything is here, such as schools and activity centres. And we've looked into a room here where they can use computers and get some training. It is clear that you are always a refugee and that is what is so boring and terrible.
The King says that it is very difficult for many refugees to get a work permit and the opportunity to work. But there is hope and the situation for the refugees is developing all the time.
- Now we've only been here for a few hours and it's all very complex. But many have assimilated in Jordan, they have jobs and live tolerably in various places around the area.

Today, we were honored to receive His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf and Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden at the camp.
