Syrian refugees: AMMAN, Jordan A Jordanian official says the number of Syrian refugees crossing into the kingdom has jumped nearly tenfold last week to an average of 900 people per day, its highest level in months, according to The Chronicle Herald. Syrian families often move back and forth across the border multiple times as fighting ebbs and flows. Many find conditions in desert refugee camps to be only marginally better than their battle-scarred homes and Col. Zaher Abu-Shehab, who oversees refugee camps for the Jordanian government, says at the same time the number returning home has also surged, climbing to 600 per day. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
