A four-member delegation from the European Parliament will begin Monday a four-day visit to Jordan to meet refugees who have fled the conflict in Syria and to see at first hand the conditions on the ground. The delegation will also hold talks with local authorities and international organizations working in the field in order to assess the refugee crisis and what help the EU can give to meet these exceptional challenges, the European Parliament said in a statement. The Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs delegation visit takes place as Syrian refugees are arriving in unprecedented numbers in Jordan. The UN Refugee Agency says over 242,000 Syrian refugees are registered or awaiting registration in Jordan, and the daily arrivals are expected to increase steadily. MEPs will visit the main Zaatari refugee camp, 12 km from the Syrian border, the Mafraq transit facility and the Thnebe border crossing. They will also visit registration centers for asylum seekers and make home visits to Syrian refugee families living in Jordan. The delegation will hold in-depth discussions with the Jordan authorities, international organizations and non-governmental organizations operating in the country.
