Jordan on Sunday (February 25th) welcomed the UN Security Council's decision that the Syrian state is the party responsible for delivering humanitarian assistance to al-Rukban camp in the no-man’s land between Jordan’s north-eastern border and Syria, the Jordan Times reported.
Minister of State for Media Affairs Mohammad Momani said the UN resolution affirms that Syrians in the camp are internally displaced persons and not refugees, and that assistance should come to them from inside Syria, the Jordanian news agency, Petra, reported.
Jordan’s armed forces recently announced they were continuing to help internally displaced Syrians in need of medical treatment just across the border.
Jordanian forces said they were seeking, in co-ordination with the UN and international humanitarian organisations working in the area near al-Rukban camp, to increase the number of Syrians received in the kingdom for medical conditions or injuries to 300 cases per day.
