Watch part 1 here: https://youtu.be/igPVUi2HeH0 A look at Zaatari, a desert city in Jordan. Anita Rani learns how Zaatari is building a new infrastructure. Javid Abdelmoneim meets the families deciding whether to leave Zaatari. In part two of this series, presenters Anita Rani, A&E doctor Javid Abdelmoneim and hostile environment expert Ben Timberlake discover how Zaatari, a refugee camp in Jordan for Syrians fleeing the war, has grown from a handful of tents in the desert to a fully functioning city of 80,000 people. And, as a new generation is born here, they investigate how this remarkable city is looking to the future for the sake of its residents. When people first arrived in this refugee camp in July 2012, they thought they would be back home in Syria within months. But with no signs the crisis in their home country is coming to an end, Zaatari must continue to evolve as its residents potentially face a long future here. In this episode, Anita investigates how Zaatari is building a new infrastructure that will bring it in line with any other modern metropolis. Anita also meets some of the 11 babies that are born in this refugee camp every single week. With over half of Zaatari's population under the age of 18, Ben will spend time with the remarkable Syrians who are determined to inspire their next generation. Whilst Javid follows the families making heartbreaking decisions about whether to leave Zaatari to start a new life abroad.
