The situation In Jordan is particularly distressing. For in that country. and in neighboring areas. there Is an operational United Nations presence. It is the humanitarian presence of UNRWAthe United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near Eastwith a mandate broad enough to respond to any emergencies in the area. I fully appreciate the chaos in Jordan. the difficulties in landing aircraft at the airport in Amman. the problems in moving supplies into the city. and into the field. But we know. also. that a couple of relief flights have landed at Ammanand so we ask. why can there not be more?
