Qatar extends $500 million aid package to Jordan: official | Reuters:
"Qatar has extended a $500 mln aid package to Jordan that includes investments, project finance and job opportunities for Jordanians, an official source in Amman said on Wednesday.
Two days ago, Qatar’s Gulf neighbours Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates - with which it is embroiled in a diplomatic row - and Kuwait pledged $2.5 billion to help Jordan.
The kingdom’s cash-strapped economy has been hit by regional turmoil and IMF-driven austerity measures triggered a wave of protests over price hikes and subsidy cuts this month that brought down the government."
