Tension are flaring along Jordan’s border with Syria.

Jordanian officials are fed up with the influx of Syrian refugees, which currently number more than 180,000.

The Refugees are bristling at the conditions they face in makeshift United Nations camps.

About 200 went on a rampage at the Za’atri camp, protesting poor services and conditions.

Dale Gavlak visited the camp and sent this report.

    Jordan is doing the best it can with limited resources. The world should help the Free Syrian Army topple Assad’s kakistocracy so the refugees can go back to their homes.
