ZAATARI, Jordan, Ramadan 23, 1433, Aug 11, 2012, SPA - Canada's foreign minister John Baird has said the worsening situation in Syria is "tremendously horrifying" during a trip to Jordan's first Syrian refugee tent city, which is near its northern border with Syria. Baird, accompanied by his Jordanian counterpart Nasser Judeh, spoke during a Saturday visit to the Zataari desert camp, where more than 3,300 Syrian refugees are housed. Jordan hosts 150,000 displaced Syrians, more than any other country. Baird says Canada will donate $1.5 million to the World Food Program in Jordan and $2 million for medical supplies for doctors inside Syria, according to a report of the Associated Press. Baird is on a three-day tour of the region. --SPA 14:54 LOCAL TIME 11:54 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1021782
