AMMAN — The EU and the International Organisation for Migration delivered over 23 vehicles to the border guards to transport Syrian refugees from the border to camps as part of an EU-funded project to help Jordanian authorities cope with the impact of the Syrian crisis.

The handover ceremony was held at the border guards’ Zarqa headquarters, an EU statement said.

The vehicles, which include six large buses, six minibuses, eight pickup trucks and three ambulances, will assist border guards in dealing with the influx of refugees.
