Ayman Safadi met with Bashar Assad in Damascus. The Jordan foreign minister vowed to deliver earthquake aid to Syria after the country was hit with a 7.8 magnitude earthquake.
Jordan’s King Abdullah II had called Assad last week to express Amman's willingness to send humanitarian aid. Since then, cargo planes and trucks loaded with assistance from the neighboring country have reached Syria to help with relief efforts. The 7.8 magnitude earthquake killed over 1,400 people in government-held areas and displaced thousands more.
Safadi also met with Syrian counterpart Faisal Mekdad.
