Zarqa Camp (Arabic: مخيم الزرقاء) is one of the 10 officially recognized UNRWA Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan. It is located outside of Zarqa.[1]
It was the first Palestine refugee camp to be established in Jordan, and one of the four camps founded to accommodate the refugees of the 1948 Palestinian exodus.[1]
