We learned there was a black market in UNHCR refugee tents, but we didn’t know where they were sold. It took three days of painstaking research to finally track down the seller on the outskirts of Amman. His unit was piled high to the rafters with old tents. It seems there is a healthy market in used tents which command high prices.
