An aerial view shows the Zaatari refugee camp on Thursday, July 18th, 2013 near the Jordanian city of Mafraq, some eight kilometers from the Jordanian-Syrian border. Visiting the Zaatari refugee camp in northern Jordan, Kerry met six representatives of its 115,000-strong population, all of whom appealed to him to create no-fly zones and set up humanitarian safe havens inside Syria. The Obama administration has boosted assistance to the Syrian opposition but has noted grave complications and astronomic costs in enforcing no-fly zones or protecting the opposition on Syrian soil. |
