Jordan army begins delivering aid to Syrians stranded near border

The Jordanian army began delivering humanitarian aid to thousands of displaced Syrians who took shelter near its border when major fighting broke out in southern Syria this month, a government spokeswoman said on Saturday. "This is in line with Jordan's stance to help our Syrian brothers," Jumana Ghunaimat told the state news agency. Several thousand Syrians had gathered near a closed border crossing earlier on Saturday pleading to enter Jordan, which closed its borders after the Syrian army launched a major offensive this month, uprooting tens of thousands of people.
