“Thank God for the Jordanians’ generosity,” Abu Ashraf said. “From the soldiers who welcomed us at the border to the local community which allows us to live here. Even if we’re away from home, it makes all the difference to us.” Photograph: Karl Schembri/Oxfam

Imane, 28, from Homs, makes the final preparations for iftar in a house rented by her extended family in Khalidiya, Jordan. A total of 17 people live here in this empty two-bedroom house, for which they pay 130 Jordanian dinars every month (£120) Photograph: Karl Schembri/Oxfam

For 18-year-old Hazem, from Daraa, Ramadan always means extra work and a boost to business, as sweets and desserts like qatayef, baklava, and kanafah are synonymous with this holy month. Back in Daraa, his father had two sweets shops that he had to abandon, but that didn't stop him from bringing his skills to the Zaatari camp where he opened this sweet shop, a bakery and a shawarma shop Photograph: Karl Schembri/Oxfam/Karl Schembri/Oxfam
