I am comparing the UNHCR refugee lunch to the Wadi Rum, sack lunch my Bedouin guide gave me when I was in Jordan.
We both got tuna. What I wondered was whether Zach and Chris had a guide who taught them how to use the tuna can lid as a knife?
As a paying tourist, I got an imported apple and plastic plate. And my lunch was all mine. I didn’t share my cheese with anyone.
Looking at the refugee lunch, it struck me, is it possible a family of four can live on that can of beans?
You can read all about Zach and Chris eating their lunch at Registering as Refugees.

The Palestinians IN Syria are the worst off. They are completely in no man’s land. Cannot go anywhere and haven’t received aid for 15 months. They are starving.
