Agriculture Minister Khaled Hnaifat said crews dealt with dozens of incidents of downed trees that blocked roads or branches falling on power lines and causing outages or disruptions, adding that the Amman response crews were reinforced to promptly deal with citizens' complaints. Hnaifat directed ministry personnel to assess the damage to trees at institutions and sports facilities, and replace fallen trees with ones that withstand severe weather conditions and snow, such as carob, cypress and peppertree. The minister said post-storm work continues to trim or remove trees that were affected by snow, adding that the ministry is monitoring any attempt at deforestation, using the weather as a pretext. Hnaifat said the ministry is tracking weather forecasts and possible frost formation and assessing the impact of freezing in production zones.
