A total of 308 Syrian refugees from various age groups, entered into Jordan through several crossing points during the last 24 hours, Petra news agency quoted a Jordanian military source as saying on Thursday.
The source said border guards provided the refugees with the necessary aid before transferring them to refugee camps.
The Jordanian Royal Medical Services' personnel administered first aid to refugee patients through their medical centers at the borders, the source added.
More than 700,000 Syrian refugees are registered with the UN High Commission for Refugees in the Kingdom, while Jordanian officials said Jordan received more than 559,000 Syrian refugees since the start of the Syrian crisis in March 2011.
Over the past four years, Jordan has been a safe haven for a massive and unprecedented number of Syrian refugees who have settled in the country's northern and central governorates.
The spillover effects of the Syrian refugee crisis are taking a heavy toll on the Kingdom's burdened economy and already-limited resources, especially on the most vulnerable segments of the population in the northern region, where over half of Syrian refugees currently reside.
