In Thursday April 17, 2014 photo, Syrian refugee Abu Mohammed sits in a shop he has set up to sell women's accessories to boost his non-existent income at Zaatari refugee camp, near the Syrian border in Jordan. It was hard enough for Abu Mohammed to flee his hometown of Daraa in southern Syria because of the raging fighting. He now has to survive on basics in this sprawling refugee camp in Jordan, and pay rent to a fellow Syrian strongman for the use of a small plot of land to set up a shop.(AP Photo/Khalil Hamra)
