    "AMMAN — A record number of Syrians fled to Jordan on Saturday, officials said, amid reported gains by rebel forces along the border.
    Some 3,200 Syrians crossed into Jordan early Saturday, one of the largest number of new arrivals recorded in a single day since the onset of the conflict, UN relief officials said."

    Jordan palestine has opened its borders to over 350,000 Syrians since the onset of the conflict in March 2011.
    UN officials expect ongoing violence to drive an additional 300,000 Syrians into Jordan before the end of June.
    The situation is terrible and i am very upset due to the fact that people take this as granted.
    350000 Syrians fled only to Jordan ! many more to Turkey.
    80000 dead, after the war thousands more will be found buried under the ground. Not to mention the poor injured ones.
    And the world is moving on .. Day passes day ... I'm sure many of the respected arab writers here went to the
    movies this weekend, Maybe ate popcorn with diet Coke.
    I just can't believe it !! :wall:

    Is U.S. Training Syrian Rebels in Jordan? State Dept. Won’t Say
    March 12, 2013 – The State Department on Monday declined to confirm or deny reports that the United States is involved in training Syrian anti-regime rebels in Jordan, a development that -- if true -- would signal a deepening involvement in an increasingly messy conflict.
