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. "When I first heard that we were moving into a house, I couldn't believe it," the 28-year-old widow told AFP in opposition-held northern Syria. "I was so happy that I couldn't think of anything other than the move," she said, sitting outside her new concrete home.

Since fleeing his home in the northwestern province of Idlib, Haj Moussa said he had moved from one displacement camp to another. "This unit isn't too different" from the camps, he said. "It's a joke." Nearby, Ahmed Mustafa Katouli said he was grateful to have a concrete roof over his head, but complained the units are too small.
