Additional Information / Shotlist At least 60,000 Syrian refugees are currently stranded at the Syrian- Jordanian borders, also known as “the Berm”, fleeing the ongoing war in Syria. MSF has been running a mobile health clinic at Rukban since May 16th, providing primary and reproductive healthcare to women and children under five. On June 21st, a suicide attack took place at the Jordanian military base in Rukban, killing seven Jordanian soldiers and wounding 14 others. Following the incident, GoJ declared the north and northeastern borders as sealed military zones. Since then, access to humanitarian aid, including food, water and medical care has been blocked to refugees who desperately need it.
