EU gives €28 million to Syria refugees in Jordan
The European Union says it is allocating an extra €28 million to Jordan to help it meet the urgent needs of Syrian refugees as winter sets in.
EU humanitarian affairs commissioner Christos Stylianides makes the announcement during a visit to the Zaatari camp in northern Jordan that is home to 80,000 refugees from across the border in Syria.
“Today I’m announcing the allocation of €28 millions ($30.8 million) specifically for Jordan. This money will assist the urgent needs of Syrian refugees and their host communities,” Stylianides tells reporters.

The latest aid raises the overall EU humanitarian assistance to €198 million since Syria’s conflict broke out in 2011.
