According to the Jordan Armed Forces, some 600 Syrians crossed into the Kingdom early Monday, raising the total number of new arrivals over the past 48 hours to over 1,000.
The endangered refugees are among an estimated 18,000 displaced civilians who have been prevented by the violence from crossing into Jordan and remain stranded in the border region.
Jordan has opened its borders to over 1 million Syrians since the onset of the conflict in March 2011 — over 600,000 of them classified as refugees.
