Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Responding to a question on a recent International Amnesty's report on refugees on the Jordanian-Syrian border, Judeh said the report is "unfair and that what Jordan offers does not need a proof", adding that attention should be paid to countries that don't provide any form of humanitarian assistance.

He indicated that hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees continue to receive treatment and education at public Jordanian hospitals and schools, let alone the massive pressure being placed on the sectors of water, energy and employment.

UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, said Jordan has a key role in regional issues and voiced the international organization's support to the Kingdom.

He announced that the UN will hold a global humanitarian summit, the first of its kind, to discuss the establishment of a sustainable frame through which assistance can be provided to refugees and those affected by crises.

Minister of Planning and International Cooperation, Imad Fakhoury, said the Kingdom is working with the World Bank on a second Development Policy Loan (DPL) at a value of $250 million instead of pursuing short-term and costlier lending.

He stressed that the World's Bank support to Jordan left a significant impact in terms of funding priority projects in key sectors, including education, vocational training, employment, social development, energy, water, health, transportation, environment and local community development among others.
