At the beginning of May 2006, members of the Iraq Solidarity Campaign and Middle East Cultural Association returned for the third time to Baqa’a – a Palestine Refugee Camp, which is located in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

Baqa’a Camp was established in 1968 after the Arab/Israeli six-day-war and today in 2006, Baqa’a is home to an estimated 120,000 displaced Palestinian’s.

Crossing Jordan is a public meeting, where members of the public are being invited to come and hear a first hand account from an Iraq Solidarity Campaign member and organiser of the 2006 delegation to Baqa’a Refugee Camp.
