AMMAN — Jordanians and truck drivers who were stuck at the Libyan-Egyptian border on Wednesday passed the Salloum border crossing into Egypt and are on their way to the Kingdom, the Foreign Ministry said. 

The ministry’s spokesperson, Sabah Al Rafie, said on Wednesday that the Egyptian authorities issued an exceptional decision to allow two Jordanian families to pass through the Salloum border with Libya. 

She explained that the Jordanian embassy in Cairo provided the necessary documents to facilitate their entry. 

Al Rafie also called truck drivers to avoid the Libyan-Egyptian borders, citing the current state of insecurity there.
