A Sudanese mother carries her daughter at a camp managed by the Red Cross and the Red Crescent, about 60 km (38 miles) away from the Iraqi-Jordanian border near Ruweished, March 23, 2003. By the end of Sunday only 200 refugees – mainly Sudanese – who fled the war in Iraq will be left at the camp in the Jordanian desert. Most of the refugees left towards their home countries after spending only one or two nights at the camp. REUTERS/Gleb Garanich
