The Tanaiste Michael Martin visited a Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan yesterday as he concluded his visit to the Middle East. The Talbieh Camp, which is 35km south of Amman, is home to 10,600 people.

It’s consists of a school, a medial centre and homes. And it’s one of ten UNWRA funded refugee camps in Jordan that accommodate 2.5m people.

Our reporter Barry Whyte, who is part of a small group of journalists who travelled with the Tanaiste, sent us this report.
