ZAATARI REFUGEE CAMP, Jordan: His skull and jaw wrapped in bandages, the young Syrian refugee stared nonchalantly into a small black box at a supermarket in this sprawling, dust-swept refugee camp. The box scanned his iris to identify him, charged his account and sent him on his way.
If the boy noticed US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley watching intently from just a few feet away, he didn鈥檛 show it. But Haley would later tout the iris-scanners as a fraud-cutting tool boosting efficiency for the more than $6.5 billion the US has spent helping those whose lives have been upended by Syria鈥檚 harrowing civil war.
Yet as Haley pledged Sunday that the US would increase support, her message was diluted by President Donald Trump鈥檚 own vow to put 鈥淎merica First,鈥� his planned budget cuts and hard-line position on admitting refugees.
鈥淲e鈥檙e the No. 1 donor here through this crisis. That鈥檚 not going to stop. We鈥檙e not going to stop funding this,鈥� Haley said. 鈥淭he fact that I鈥檓 here shows we want to see what else needs to be done.鈥�
It was a theme the outspoken ambassador returned to over and over in Jordan at the start of her first trip abroad since taking office. In her stops here and in Turkey 鈥� another Syria neighbor 鈥� Haley is witnessing first-hand the strains placed on countries absorbing the more than 5 million Syrians who have fled Daesh, President Bashar Assad鈥檚 regime, or both.
She climbed into the trailer of an 18-wheeler staged at the Ramtha border crossing less than a kilometer from Syria, inspecting boxes of peas, tuna and canned meat stacked shoulder-high. The truck was to join 19 others in a convoy into opposition-held territory in Syria, carrying supplies from UN agencies and other groups, many US-funded.
鈥淭his is all in the name of our Syrian brothers and sisters,鈥� Haley told aid workers in a nearby tent, swatting away flies in the summer heat. 鈥淲e want you to feel like the US is behind you.鈥�
The US president鈥檚 message to Syrians couldn鈥檛 be more different.
Trump once called his predecessor 鈥渋nsane鈥� for letting in Syrian refugees. As president, he tried to bar them from the US, describing them as a national security threat. A court blocked that move, but the number of Syrian refugees admitted has nonetheless dropped, from 5,422 in the four months before Trump鈥檚 inauguration to 1,566 in the four months since, US statistics show.
And Trump has called for drastic cuts to US funding for the UN and its affiliated agencies 鈥� such as those aiding people still in Syria and those who have fled. Trump plans to release his budget blueprint Tuesday, but his initial proposal in March called for a one-third cut to diplomatic and overseas programming while boosting the US military by $54 billion.
Haley told reporters accompanying her to Jordan that the US was 鈥渘ot pulling back鈥� and was in fact 鈥渆ngaging more.鈥� She cited Trump鈥檚 stepped-up action to try to hasten a political solution to the war, including a strike punishing Assad鈥檚 forces for using chemical weapons that the Syrian opposition and its backers have enthusiastically applauded.
She echoed Trump鈥檚 defense of his plan to temporarily halt refugee admissions from all countries 鈥� which was also blocked in court 鈥� by saying the US needed to protect Americans by first improving its refugee-vetting capabilities. And she pointed to a group of women in the camp who had overwhelmingly told her their hope was to return to Syria, not relocate to the US
鈥淪o our goal is how do we get these people back home to a safe place?鈥� Haley said.
Still, the situation in Zaatari Refugee Camp 鈥� like in others in Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon and Iraq 鈥� tell the story of Syrians who see no quick resolution to their plight.
In Zaatari, half of the 80,000 refugees are children, and a dozen babies are born here per day, according to UNICEF, the UN鈥檚 child welfare agency. Thirty-five percent of marriages involve a child under 18, a reflection of the economic hardships families in the camp face.
Many of the younger children wander unsupervised through the camp, where gusts of dust occasionally reduced visibility to just a few feet as Haley鈥檚 motorcade rolled through the streets, passing sparse, white-corrugated buildings accorded a bit of cheer by colorful murals painted on their walls.
