Human Rights Watch has criticized Jordan for discriminating against Palestinian refugees who have escaped from <br />Syria. <br /><br />Syrian refugees are allowed to rent homes and work, but Palestinians arriving in Jordan are held at a heavily<br />guarded compound in Ramtha. <br /><br />Almost half of Jordan's population is of Palestinian origin, enjoying Jordanian nationality. The country now <br />fears the that with the refugee influx Palestinians could outnumber citizens of Jordanian origin.<br /><br />Nisreen El-Shamayleh reports from the northern Jordanian city of Ramtha.
