One day in the life of .... an Iraqi refugee

We use euphemisms to hide away the real trauma and tragedies in lives all around.  "Displaced persons" is one such sterile euphemism.  The Iraq situation has triggered the displacement of quite few, many of whom have ended up as refugees in Jordan.

How is the daily life of such a refugee in Jordan?  What were some of these refugees doing back in Iraq?  Here is one example--a photo narrative.

Yes, the title of this post is a play on Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
