Almost 200 Palestinian refugees from Iraq are waiting anxiously, hoping beyond hope that they will find a new home in Canada through the private sponsorship program. It’s their only chance to escape life in a refugee camp on the Iraq/Syria border, where the water tanks are dirty and in need of maintenance, doctors sometimes visit but not often or long enough to treat everyone in need, and children above primary school age have no access to education.
