Maaytah indicated that Jordanian Cabinet decision to open the camps was taken in a meeting late Monday.
During its Monday’s session, chaired by Prime Minister Fayez Tarawneh, the Jordanian Cabinet also decided to allow the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) to establish camps for foreigners who come to Jordan via the Syrian territories in order to organise ways to deal with them.
The Associated Press (AP) report added that Jordan is hosting 140,000 Syrian refugees.
Last week, the number of incoming refugees suddenly quadrupled to 1,000 per day, AP reported according to officials, but returned to its normal average of 250 this week.
