[Jpost] The number of Syrian refugees crossing into Jordan jumped nearly tenfold last week to an average 900 people per day, its highest level in months, officials from the kingdom said Monday. At the same time, the number of Syrians returning home has also surged, climbing to 600 per day, said Col. Zaher Abu-Shehab, who oversees refugee camps for the Jordanian government.
| So, plus 900 is 10x, minus 600 equals.... net 3x normal, yes? |
Syrian families often move back and forth across the border multiple times as fighting ebbs and flows. |
