Refugees In Jordan
As Syria's civil war stretches into its sixth year, and refugees continue to pour into Europe, the migration is being felt more acutely in countries bordering Syria - Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. Since the war began, Jordan has taken in 1.5 million Syrian refugees, who now make up 20 percent of the nation's populace. While many Syrian's are struggling and rely on the Jordanian government to get by, a good number of displaced Syrians, even those in the largest refugee camp, have turned to entrepreneurship. NewsHour Weekend Special Correspondent Amy Guttman has the story on Saturday.
