BBC World Service - Global Questions, Syria's Refugee Crisis

Syrian refugees in Jordan question politicians and diplomats in a special debate.

After 5 years of civil war in Syria, a panel in Jordan discusses tough questions from their audience about the refugee crisis.

BBC World News' Global Questions travels to the UNHCR's main refugee registration centre in Amman, Jordan where a high profile panel of leaders and opinion formers discuss Syria's refugee crisis. They face an audience from the refugee camps of Zaatari and Azraq and urban Amman as well as Jordanian citizens. The debate, moderated by the BBC's Zeinab Badawi also takes comments and questions from social media.
	
Jordan is one of the countries that borders Syria and like many host nations is struggling to cope with a massive influx of refugees from its five year civil war. More than four million Syrians have fled across the border to Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, leading to immense strains on the infrastructure of those countries. With no easy end in sight to the war in Syria, what is the best way to help refugees who may be in counties like Jordan for many more months or even years to come?
