UN says flow of Syrian refugees to Jordan eases
None
The UN refugee agency says the daily number of Syrian refugees entering Jordan has fallen dramatically compared to earlier in the year, when the figure stood in the thousands. UNHCR senior regional spokesman Peter Kessler says currently, some 25 to 50 Syrians cross into Jordan per day, as fighting in Syria's southern border towns has eased.
The border area has already been heavily evacuated, with many sent to Jordan's Zaatari camp, the world's second largest refugee camp with about 112,000 residents, he said. (AP)
