A Syrian boy pays for his shopping using an iris scanner at a supermarket, run jointly by the World Food Programme and the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, inside the Azraq refugee camp in Jordan. Eye-scanning is a new technology being implemented by the UNHCR and other U.N. agencies to ensure people use only their own credit and not borrowed or stolen cards. After having their iris scanned, Syrian refugees living in the camp can make use of services such as health care and shopping, using just their eyes.
