Turkish-funded camps help Syrian refugees have homes

Syrian mother of four Maryam al-Hussein was relieved to have a roof over her head as she moved from a tent camp into a housing complex built with Turkish support.

"I was so happy that I couldn't think of anything other than the move," she said, sitting outside her new concrete home.
