Jordan calls for increased int'l aid to support Syrian refugees

Xinhua, November 30, 2015 Adjust font size:

King Abdullah II of Jordan on Sunday called on the international community to help Jordan so that it can better serve Syrian refugees in the Kingdom, the state-run Petra news agency reported.

The Jordanian monarch told a Canadian ministerial delegation that his country now hosts some 1.4 million Syrian refugees.

Jordan has recently asked for three billion U.S. dollars, with which it is able to provide services to Syrian refugees over the next few years.

Earlier last month, Jordanian Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour said Jordan supports a political solution to end the crisis in Syria, adding that the majority of Syrian refugees are likely to remain in neighboring countries until Syria is rebuilt and security restored. Enditem
