Peter Capaldi Visits Refugee Camps in Jordan

Andrew Reynolds is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Ever the humanitarian Peter Capaldi has travelled with the UN Refugee Agency to witness first hand the front-line work the charity is doing in the middle east.

The UNHCR, a United Nations agency mandated to protect and support refugees, is currently helping some of the 630,000 Syrian refugees living in Jordan. The charity took Capaldi to meet some of the people displaced by the conflict in Syria and to see some of the work being done to support them and their needs.

A short film of the actor’s experience in the region has been released, along with pictures from the visit. More content from the trip will be released over the next few weeks, including a virtual reality experience.

During the video, Capaldi makes an impassioned plea to remember what all Syrian refugees want.

“I think what a lot of people don’t understand, is that the majority of the people who have been made to flee – they want to go home, it’s all anybody wants to do is go home.”

You can make a secure donation towards helping the UNHCR continue to saving lives, protecting human rights and building a better future for refugees; and see updates from Capaldi’s trip on his UNHCR page.
