A group of angry Syrians set fire to their tents in protest at “bad living conditions” at the Zaatari desert refugee camp in northern Jordan, a leading charity said on Tuesday.”A number of Syrian refugees torched 20 tents last night, protesting bad living conditions in Zaatari and demanding the authorities replace tents with caravans,” said Zayed Hammad, head of the Ketab and Sunna Society, a charity that helps hundreds of thousands of Syrians in the kingdom.”Police did not make any arrests and no one was hurt.I think Syrian regime supporters did this in an attempt to create riots inside the camp,” Hammad said.
There are 5,000 tents and 350 caravans in Zaatari, which houses 37,000 refugees, he said.But Anmar Hmud, a government spokesman for Syrian refugee affairs, said without elaborating that “one tent caught fire because of some children who were playing.”Riots and clashes erupted at the camp earlier in October and have occurred several times in the past two months as Syrian refugees repeatedly complain of bad conditions, dust and lack of electricity.
[ed notes;salafi leaning kutab and sunna society head tries to lay blame on Syrian govt SUPPORTERS* of course!Many Syrian refugees in those camps are against rebels and do support Assad,unfortunatly for the salafist ngo spokesman for Syrian refugee affairs there ,says it was due to kids in tents playing..
