The Lower House on Tuesday held a monitoring session during which the government responded to questions by MPs.

Answering a question by MP Hassan Obeidat (Construction list), Interior Minister Hussein Majali said around 76,000 Syrian refugees have willingly returned to their country since the beginning of the crisis.

Majali added that Jordan does not prevent any refugee from returning to his country, and that the Kingdom does not spare any effort to secure international assistance to support it in dealing with the refugee crisis.
