Jordan is drowning in refugees and acutely running out of water.

They have over 100,000 Syrian refugees, 750,000 Iraqi refugees and 1.9 million Palestinian refugees. That's a lot for small country of six million people.

It's easy to criticize Jordanians, but they have their hands full and are risking the stability of their country. If other countries would start taking more refugees from Syria and Iraq (like the coalition that toppled Saddam) that would be nice.



Yeah, but OP was going to Sweden. It should have been easy enough to verify with the embassy if they wanted to.
