Syria crisis: Deadly clash in Jordan's Zaatari camp
Al-Huriya News Agency - At least one person has been reported killed and dozens hurt in a riot at Jordan's Zaatari camp, home to some 106,000 refugees from Syria's war.
Jordanian forces used tear gas against stone-throwing refugees who had set fire to tents and vehicles. Both sides blame each other for provoking the violence. The dead person was a Syrian refugee, officials say.
The sprawling camp has seen several protests since opening two years ago, mainly over poor living conditions. Zaatari is located in the Jordanian desert, about 12km (7.5 miles) from the Syrian border.
It is the world's second-largest refugee camp - behind Dadaab in eastern Kenya - and has become the fourth largest city in Jordan.
Jordanian authorities said the violence broke out after police arrested a group of refugees who were trying to leave the camp illegally. "The rioters burned six tents and two caravans and tried to attack police stations," the Public Security Directorate said in a statement.
