Our country welcomes refugees
Syrian refugees
Amman - Arab Today
Jordanian Minister of State for Information Mohamed al Moemeni said that his country has received since the eruption of the Syrian crisis over 1.4 million refugees.
In statements to MENA on Tuesday, Moemeni, who doubles as the official spokesman of the Jordanian government, pointed out that Jordan shouldered heavy burdens as a result of the presence of the refugees on its territories.
The Jordanian official was commenting on reports that some 12,000 refugees are stranded on the Jordanian-Syrian borders.
The United Nations had voiced concern on Tuesday over the fate of the 12,000 Syrian refugees on Jordan's borders with Syria under deteriorating humanitarian conditions.
“The lives of refugees will be at risk in the coming months,” Melissa Fleming, spokesperson of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) told a news briefing in Geneva. “So today the UNHCR appeals to the government of Jordan to allow refugees stranded at the border to enter the country.”

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
