Still ongoing, this operation, but they brought in medicine in particular and also baby formula. Why is that important? Well, if you put those things, for example, on a long road journey, and there have been lots of road convoys from Jordan, there is a danger that if they get delayed... then they will spoil. And the need for medicine is acute.

I mean, you think about that figure.

most of them with no proper home to go back to, and roughly the same number of people dependent on international aid. This is a huge need, and it's going to be an ongoing one. It's not going to be a crisis that fades from the headlines.
