AMMAN — The Interior Ministry has decided to transfer the residents of two makeshift camps in Khreibet Al Souq near the Central Vegetable Market to Ribaa Al Sarhan refugee registration centre, from where they will be taken to the Azraq, Mreijeb Al Fhoud or Zaatari camps, the ministry’s spokesperson, Ziad Zu’bi, said on Friday.

The step is in line with efforts to regulate the presence of Syrian refugees in Jordan and to ensure they are staying at the designated camps.

Zu’bi said a total of 1,406 refugees were living at the two makeshift camps.
