Amman - "Jerusalem" dot com - The King Hussein Bridge towards the Palestinian territories witnessed severe overcrowding of passengers, which prompted officials to extend work on it in an attempt to reduce overcrowding before it was closed again.

The Jordanian Public Security Directorate announced that three equipped and air-conditioned tents would be prepared to receive passengers across the bridge to relieve passengers, due to the active movement witnessed by the bridge during these days, coinciding with the high temperatures.

The instructions included providing cold water, installing ambulances and their crews, and doubling the work of the bridge cadres during official working hours to facilitate the passage of travelers as quickly as possible.
