Syrias neighbours risk host-country fatigue, conference hears Jordan and other countries neighbouring Syria are approaching host-country fatigue because of huge demand from refugees for housing, schools, jobs and healthcare and scant resources like water, Jordans foreign minister told a conference on Tuesday. We are approaching host-country fatigue in which the limit of our ability to address the needs of Syrian refugees is being tested and already been reached, Jordans Nasser Judeh told an international conference in Berlin, adding that his country alone hosts 1.5 million Syrian refugees and economic migrants. The message was echoed by other countries being overwhelmed by Syrian refugees, such as Lebanon and Turkey, and by the UN refugee chief Antonio Guterres, who called it the most dramatic humanitarian crisis the world has faced in a very long time. ynetnews/articles/0,7340,L-4585182,00.html?
