Click heads to Jordan to see how biometric technology is helping the difficult task of providing refugees with assistance. Since the conflict in Syria began the region has seen a mass movement of people, as an estimated four million refugees have fled into neighbouring countries including Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan. Distributing aid and processing papers for the refugees can be complicated, and that means many people can wait at the border for a long time before they're let in. But for refugees entering Jordan, new ways of using biometric technology to identify people could mean quicker processing times and even easy ways to access aid through banks. The team is in Amman and the Zaatari refugee camp near the border with Syria.
