AMMAN, Jordan, UNHCR – Amid the tragedy of Syrian children born into exile, another, largely hidden catastrophe is unfolding. Undocumented and with no proof of their nationality, many Syrian refugee children face a dangerous and uncertain future due to the risk of statelessness. Statelessness is a problem that affects at least 10 million people worldwide. Stateless individuals are often unable to obtain identity documents and suffer severe restrictions on their rights and freedom of movement.
