AMMAN — The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) in Jordan joined thousands of people across the world on Thursday to mark the third anniversary of the Syrian crisis and shed light on the “staggering humanitarian needs” of Syrian refugees in Jordan and the region, it said in a statement.

“This is a human crisis of distressing proportions…” NRC Jordan Country Director Robert Beer said in a statement e-mailed to The Jordan Times.

NRC postponed until next week a planned event at its education and youth training sites in the Zaatari Refugees Camp due to weather conditions.

More than 500 children and volunteer teachers are participating in it.

“We remain focused on supporting those affected by the recent rain and high winds with emergency shelter…” Beer said.
