NEW YORK — His Majesty King Abdullah, in New York on
Tuesday, reiterated Jordan’s continued commitment to providing health,

decline in the international contribution to Jordan’s response plan to the
Syrian refugee crisis, 10 percent of which was funded this year, according to a
Royal Court statement.
