AMMAN — The EU, through the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), has provided Border Guards with custom-built vehicles to assist injured and incapacitated refugees fleeing the war in Syria, this week donating a mass casualty ambulance equipped to carry up to six patients.

The vehicle will join three single patient ambulances and 25 other vehicles, including buses and pickup trucks, already donated by the EU through IOM to help Border Guards cope with the refugee influx, an EU statement said.

"This project is crucial in supporting the Jordanian Border Guards in providing assistance to Syrian refugees," the statement quoted EU Ambassador Joanna Wronecka as saying.

Moreover, the IOM donated two buses to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on behalf of the United Arab Emirates.
