UNITED NATIONS Kids Amari Cooper Jersey , Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- The UN Children's Fund ( UNICEF) and the World Food Programme (WFP) on Wednesday launched a winter cash assistance program to provide 41,000 vulnerable Syrian refugee children under the age of 14 in Jordan, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters here. The proposed assistance is designed to help those Syrian refugee children in Za'atari and Azraq refugee camps with 14 Jordanian Dinars each "to allow their families to get them winter clothes," Dujarric said at a daily news briefing here. "The one-time cash assistance from UNICEF will target children from nearly 13,000 vulnerable families in the two camps through the existing WFP electronic food voucher program," he said. "The UNICEF assistance can be used to buy winter clothes, such as boots, gloves, trousers, coats and scarves at WFP-contracted supermarkets in the camps until the end of January." Jordan is one of Syria's neighboring countries which host a massive influx of Syrian refugees since the beginning of the Syrian crisis in March 2011. Earlier Wednesday, the UN refugee agency, known as the UNHCR, said in a report that Syrians, for the first time, have become the largest refugee population under UNHCR's mandate, overtaking Afghans, who had held that position for more than three decades. As of June 2014, the 3 million Syrian refugees now account for 23 percent of all refugees being helped by UNHCR worldwide. NICOSIA, July 24 (Xinhua) -- A group of 143 Syrian refugees arrived in Cyprus in a boat which had sailed from the port of Mersin in southern Turkey, authorities said on Monday. Cypriot police said the people on the boat, 62 men, 31 women and 50 children, are being processed before being transferred to a refugee center. This was the largest group of Syrian refugees to arrive in Cyprus from Turkey since the first boatload arrived about two years ago. The refugees said they left Mersin on Saturday afternoon and were at sea for over 34 hours. The police said they were notified about the arrival of the boat off the northwestern coast of Cyprus early last night but it was spotted after midnight and was towed into a marina at daybreak. Cypriot authorities usually receive notification by the traffickers themselves who call the Cypriot Search and Rescue Center about the arrival of refugee boats before returning to Turkey by speedboat. Monday's arrival of Syrian refugees brings their total to more than 400 this year. The refugees were reported to have told the police that they paid to the traffickers 2,000 U.S. dollars each for a place on the boat. Syrian refugees arriving in Cyprus usually plan to stay on the eastern Mediterranean island, the closest place to there country, either to wait until they can return to their homes or even make a new home on the island.

(XinhuaYao Dawei) BEIJING, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- China and Serbia agreed in Beijing on Monday to boost parliamentary exchanges and share experience in governance, the development of democracy and rule of law. The agreement was reached in the talks between China's top legislator Zhang Dejiang and visiting Serbian National Assembly Speaker Maja Gojkovic. They signed a protocol on setting up a cooperation committee from members of both countries' legislative bodies. Zhang, chairman of the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress, said the protocol is a new platform for bilateral cooperation and boosting exchanges between legislative bodies. He called on closer parliamentary exchanges among various levels, to consolidate political foundation for bilateral ties. Zhang encouraged legislative bodies to offer more consistent and reliable policies and legal environment for China-Serbia cooperation, and step up cultural exchanges and local cooperation. He recalled the exchange of state visits between the two countries' state leaders, adding China is ready to work with Serbia to implement leaders' consensus, combine development strategies, deepen win-win cooperation and build a better future for both countries and peoples. Gojkovic, in her turn, congratulated the success of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. She said the Serbian National Assembly hopes to make full use of the cooperation committee to cement parliamentary exchanges and bilateral friendship at the new stage. China's top political advisor Yu Zhengsheng also met with Gojkovic earlier on Monday. Yu, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said the CPPCC expects to enhance exchanges and cooperation with the Serbian National Assembly, to boost sustained and stable growth of bilateral ties. Gojkovic is visiting China from Nov. 25 to Dec. 1.
