AMMAN: Four Syrian children, brothers from the same family, died Saturday when a fire swept through their tent on a farm near Amman, a Jordanian security source said.
The brothers aged from one to 10 died of “severe burns,” public security spokesman Amer Sartawi said.
He said the fire broke out in tents on a farm south of the capital Amman along the road to the airport.
Foreign workers, particularly Syrian refugees, make up a large part of Jordan’s agricultural workforce.
Many live in makeshift camps that do not adhere to safety norms.
