Canada's FM visits Syrian refugee camp in Jordan

ZAATARI, Jordan (AP) ? Canada's foreign minister called the worsening situation in Syria "tremendously horrifying" during a trip Saturday to Jordan's first refugee camp, near its northern border with Syria.

John Baird, accompanied by his Jordanian counterpart Nasser Judeh, spoke during the visit to the Zataari desert camp, a tent city where more than 3,300 Syrian refugees are housed.

Jordan hosts 150,000 displaced Syrians, more than any other country. Fighting in Syria's largest city Aleppo and other recent clashes is sending ever larger numbers of Syrians to neighboring countries.

Baird says Canada will donate $1.5 million to the World Food Program in Jordan and $2 million for medical supplies for doctors inside Syria.

Baird is on a three-day tour of the region.
