UN: Syrians fleeing to Jordan could herald larger influx

None

The pace of Syrian refugees reaching Za'atri camp in northern Jordan has doubled, with 10,200 arriving in the past week, heralding what could be a bigger mass movement, the UN refugee agency said on Tuesday.

 

"We do believe this could be the start of a major, a much larger influx into Jordan," Melissa Fleming, chief spokeswoman of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), told a news briefing in Geneva. (Reuters)
