AMMAN — Kuwaiti Ambassador to Jordan Hamad Saleh Al Duaij on Friday called on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities towards Jordan and alleviate the burdens of hosting refugees.

Attending an event in Irbid to distribute in-kind assistance to Syrian families and children, he said the aid presented to Jordan does not meet more than 25 per cent of the cost of hosting refugees, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

Duaij, during the event held at a care centre affiliated with Irbid’s Charitable Islamic Centre, distributed financial and in-kind assistance to Syrians and Jordanians. He also commended the relations between Jordan and Kuwait and their bilateral coordination to support joint Arab action.
