Jordan: War-Ravaged Homeland and Syrian Refugees

jordan: Jordan is believed to have deported several thousand refugees since last year, mostly on security grounds, according to Metro News. Rights groups have said deportations often take place quickly, without a thorough investigation. Filippo Grandi also said that the number of Syrians being deported from Jordan to their war-ravaged homeland decreased dramatically in recent months, in part because of his agency's appeal for more careful reviews of cases. Only about 15,000 Syrian refugees, out of close to 660,000 registered in Jordan, have opted to leave the kingdom for Syria since 2016, Grandi said during a tour of the Zaatari refugee camp. Why Because people don't feel secure, he said. So it's a very small number. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
