In a report released in Amman, the New York-based group said Jordan has officially banned their entry since January 2013 and has forcibly deported more than 100, including women and children, who managed to enter the country since mid-2012. The report said Jordan?s rebuff of Palestinians fleeing Syria contrasts with its treatment of Syrians, more than 600,000 of whom have taken shelter in Jordan since the beginning of the Syrian conflict in March 2011. "Palestinian refugees face the same violence, killing and destruction that cause Syrian nationals themselves to want to flee to different countries," HRW Middle East researcher Adam Coogle told a news conference in Amman.
