Srour highlights Jordan’s efforts in hosting refugees

AMMAN — MP Saad Hayel Srour on Wednesday highlighted Jordan’s efforts in dealing with the influx of Syrian refugees over the past four years. Srour, who is chairing Jordan’s parliamentary delegation to the 133rd Inter-Parliamentary Union Assembly in Geneva, said Jordan provides health and education services to the refugees, besides a safe haven, despite its limited resources, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

He thanked the international community for assisting Jordan, but conceded that the aid covers no more than 40 per cent of the country’s needs. The former minister and Lower House speaker reaffirmed Jordan’s position in support of a political solution for the crisis in Syria.
