- Thousands Of Syrians Flee Daraa Towards Jordan, Says UN


- The United Nations said on Tuesday that 45,000 at least fled the areas witnessing clashes southern Syria towards Jordan.

Jens Laerke, a spokesman for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that those fleeing fighting in the southern Daraa province were moving closer to the sealed border with Jordan, with no apparent escape route.

A Jordanian government spokeswoman said earlier this week that the kingdom would not take in any more Syrians.

Jordan is already hosting about 660,000 registered Syrian refugees and estimates that the number of displaced Syrians in the overburdened country is twice as high.

Laerke said aid officials are "deeply concerned" about the safety of the displaced who he said are fleeing ground fighting and air strikes.
