AMMAN, Jordan
(AP) -- Jordanian officials say a fire at a Syrian refugee camp in
Jordan has killed a Syrian man and two of his sons.
A third son was in critical condition at an Amman hospital.
The
officials say 40-year-old Yassin Hariri and his boys - aged three and
eight - died early on Tuesday, hours after a gas canister used for
heating exploded and burned down their tent in the Zaatari camp. The
officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
Dr. Ishaq Maraqa says the Hariris were brought to Mafraq Hospital late on Monday with "severe burns all over their bodies."
Zaatari
is home to 120,000 Syrians who fled the war at home. After last week's
storm, aid workers began distributing gas heaters to the refugees on
Sunday.
