Syrian crisis taking heavy toll on Jordan

Jordan has reached the maximum capacity as per the available resources shared with the Syrian refugees, Prime Minister Hani Mulki said on Wednesday (April 5th), stressing that the crisis has stretched the country to the limit, The Jordan Times reported.

In a speech he delivered at the "Supporting the Future of Syria and the Region — Brussels Conference" held on Tuesday and Wednesday, Mulki said that without the support of the international community, Jordan's ability to continue providing services to the Syrian refugees would be on the line.

This applies to the services provided to the citizens themselves, he added.

The conference was held at the European Union’s headquarters with the joint presidency of the EU, Germany, Norway, the UK, the UN, Kuwait and Qatar with delegations representing 70 countries and international parties.

Mulki warned that leaving Syria’s neighbours without the necessary support would lead to further spillover of the crisis and increase the suffering of refugees.
