AMMAN, July 3 (Xinhua) -- Jordan's Professional Association decided to set up a field hospital to treat Syrian refugees stranded at the Jordan-Syria border, state-run Petra news agency reported on Tuesday.
The association took the decision after four hospitals in Syria's Daraa went out of service in light of the ongoing military operation, said Ali Obous, head of the association's council, adding that 200 medical staff and doctors will work in the field hospital.
"The association decided to open the door for donations as well to provide aid to the displaced Syrians near the borders," he added.
Jordanians from across the country's governorate started collecting medical supplies, donations and food to be sent to the displaced Syrians inside the Syrian territory.
Also Tuesday, Field Medicine Director Salem Zawahreh said that 43 displaced Syrians have been allowed entry to the kingdom and sent to public hospitals to receive medical treatment.
In a statement, Zawahreh indicated that these people, who suffer from injuries, fractures, burns, chronic diarrhea in addition to child births, were admitted due to their difficult conditions.
He added that people with light injuries are treated on the Jordan-Syria border and then return to Syrian territory.
