(OCHA) – Mr President and distinguished representatives, On behalf of the Emergency Relief Coordinator, Mr. Stephen O’Brien, I thank you for the opportunity to brief you on the latest humanitarian developments in Syria. I speak to you from the OCHA office in Amman, Jordan. Earlier today, I had the opportunity to visit the Azraq Refugee camp, the second largest refugee camp in Jordan, after Za’tari camp. Around 35,000 Syrian refugees live in the camp, many for several years, and most of whom are women and children. About a quarter are originally from Aleppo and nearly 20 per cent from Homs.
