For the last three months, GuardianWitness has been calling for your photos, videos and stories of the Syrian refugee crisis. Many of the responses came from charity workers in refugee camps in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and elsewhere. Here are some of the most interesting.

Zaatari refugee camp, Jordan

This photograph by journalist Yasmin Al Tellawy – who has been working in Syria and the region for the last year and a half – shows a wedding and beauty shop that rents out wedding dresses for around 25 Jordanian dinars (£23). You can see a baby sleeping among the clothes.

The Wedding & Beauty shop in Zaatari Refugee Camp Life still continues in Zaatari Refugee Camp, Jordan. Market Street, a now thriving street of businesses that stretches far beyond the eyes reach through the camp, has a shop to cater to everyone's needs, if you have some money that is. This shop is ran by a couple and their 2 children. Their baby sleeps peacefully in the shop as the parents work. This dress featured in the picture rents out for 25JD (Approximately $35 / £23) per wedding. Syrians still try to have a sense of 'normal' in the camp, and life continues. There are also a couple of beauty salons thriving in the camp to prepare the brides for their special day.

This picture by Greg Beals of the office of the UN high commissoner on refugees (UNHCR) shows a man selling tea; he said he was a refugee from Daraa. He is flying the 1932-58 Syrian flag used by many Syrian rebels.

This video shot by Oxfam shows Leka'a, who is pregnant. "I'm afraid of giving birth here, frankly," she says, "because of many things. I will be so tired, especially without my mum, without my sisters to be with me. There is so much suffering here for the women; I think more than for the men."

She explains some of the work done by women in the camp, many of which require water, which is scarce in Jordan: cleaning, taking care of their children and their husbands, taking care of the bathrooms and caravans, cooking, washing.

Leka'a's Story: Pregnant in a refugee camp The conflict in Syria has resulted in a severe and worsening emergency. Leka'a, a Syrian refugee, told Oxfam her personal story of how she misses her family and her home. Leka'a, who is pregnant, is now one of thousands of refugees in Za'atari refugee camp, Jordan. Around 1.6 million people have now fled violence in Syria and are in desperate need of shelter, food and water. Thousands of refugees are leaving Syria every day. Many flee with little more than the clothes on their backs. Oxfam is aiming to reach 650,000 people in the coming months and calling for more international aid and a peaceful solution to the crisis.

Lebanon

This picture by Melissa Fleming of the UNHCR shows an unfinished five-story building that had originally been intended to be a university. Now the owner is allowing it to be used for free by Syrian refugee families, most of whom are from Homs in north-western Syria.

When a future university becomes a refuge Here in Saida, Lebanon, 750 refugees - or 150 families, mostly from Homs, live in this five-story unfinished building. It was intended to become a university one day. Until then, the building owner, a charitable man, has offered the space to Syrian families. He refuses to accept any payment. UNHCR and partners are doing all they can to ensure refugees have some semblance of comfort, nutrition and decency here. As you see, some families are living in tents within the building. Others occupy classrooms separated by plastic sheets. We hope we get more funds to really fix this place up. As violence continues unabated, we are preparing to receive at least 150 more families from Syria. At least they are safe here. - Melissa Fleming, UNHCR

This picture sent in by Eujin Byun, who works for the UN in South Korea, shows Mohammed, an 11-year-old Syrian refugee, using Byun's camera.

Mohammed, our future video journalist Let me introduce our future video journalist, Mohamned, 11 years old Syrian refugee boy. He was helping us while we filmed his shelter. He kept asking us how the #camera works. So, this week I brought my little camera for him. He will film his daily life as a refugee. Look how happy he is with the camera. that day he did his very first interview with her sister. Remember him, you will see him on TV one day :) at Saidon, Lebanon

This short video, sent in by charity WorldVision, shows an interview with a Syrian refugee in Lebanon, clearly on the edge of tears. In a few curt phrases he brings home some of the psychological damage being forced to flee your home can cause.

We came here with only the clothes we wear. We left everything there. We did not bring anything and we need everything. You know a human being needs certain things to live. These days we are barely human.

Internally displaced people

Asad Hoammad and his family, shown in this picture by Ben Taub, fled Tal Rifat, near Aleppo in the north-west of Syria, in February for the A'zaz transit camp to Turkey. When the photograph was taken in April Hoammed said his wife would die unless she was let into Turkey for a heart valve operation.

My colleague Caroline Bannock spoke to Taub about what had happened to Hoammad's wife. He said:

With sufficient medical care unavailable in Syria, and missing documents barring them from access to Turkey, I hoped an article could gain some traction and perhaps pressure authorities to allow her across the border. But I was unable to find a news outlet interested in "just another refugee story", and to the best of my knowledge, she was not allowed into Turkey within the timeframe I was told she was likely to live. My translator tried to pull some strings at the border, but explained that it would take at least a week, if allowed at all. Asad Hoammed said she was likely to live no more than four days.

Taub is an aspiring journalist and jazz singer who has appeared on The Voice in the US.

In need of heart surgery Asad Hoammed says that his wife will die very soon if she isn't let into Turkey for a heart valve operation. No facilities in northern Syria are equipped to perform the surgery because of the war. They left their home in Tal Rifat, a few km north of Aleppo, in late February, and had been waiting at the A'zaz transit camp to cross into Turkey for over a month at the time of this photo (3 April).

Iraq

Eujin Byun also took this video from the top of a water tower to show the scale of the Domiz refugee camp in Kurdish northern Iraq.
