Jordan - Zarqa
On February 19, Pope Benedict XVI sent a Delegate to Jordan, Cardinal Robert Sarah, president of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, to discuss the plight of the Syrian refugees and to coordinate the aid to the region.
The Cardinal went to Zarqa in the Parish of the 12 apostles, entrusted to the Betharramites: he visited the parish and the headquarters of the Jordanian Caritas.
Jordanian Caritas, in fact, responded promptly to this emergency situation by offering many services to the Syrian refugees: many parishes, including that of Zarqa, offered their premises to carry out most of these activities.
Cardinal Sarah also met many Syrian families in the school of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Caritas center, thereby demonstrating the concern of the Church with regard to this humanitarian emergency.
