FILE -- In this June 3, 2016 file photo, a Syrian refugee holds on to her headscarf against the wind while she and her daughter stand outside their tent at an informal tented settlement near the Syrian border, on the outskirts of Mafraq, Jordan. Nearly a year after Jordan opened its main border crossing for Syrian refugees to go home, few are taking up the offer. Afraid to return home, unable to earn a decent living in Jordan and unwanted by the West, refugees are trapped in a cycle of poverty and debt while straining the resources of a country that is already struggling to meet the needs of its own population.
