“The international sanctions on #Syria must be lifted, and Jordanian-Syrian economic relations must return to the status quo ante,” wrote Musa Al Saket, a member of the Amman Chamber of Commerce.
“The sanctions are unfair to our economy & the Syrian people,” he wrote. “Twelve years since the war broke out, more than 90% of the #Syria population lives below the poverty line, with limited access to food and medicine. This is a major catastrophe,” Saket added:
Faisal Al-Shboul, government spokesman:
#Jordan's priorities are that "the situation in #Syria should stabilize, the crisis should end, and the people there should decide on their future," he said.
“This crisis had and continues to have repercussions.

“This crisis had and continues to have repercussions.
We have 1.3 mil. Syrian refugees to whom #Jordan provides healthcare & educ. despite limited resources, such as water,” Shboul added.
“The intern'l community has failed us in responding to the #Syria crisis, as its annual contribution is no more than 23% of the required amount"
