Human Rights Watch urged Jordan Monday to lift recent "restrictions" on transit through its territory of Palestinian Arabs from the Gaza Strip, but the authorities in Amman denied any policy change, AFP reports.
Since August 2015, "Palestinians from Gaza have found it increasingly difficult to get permission to transit through Jordan to travel abroad, without any explanation for the change," HRW's Middle East director Sarah Leah Whitson wrote in a letter to the Jordanian authorities.
