Ben Carson To Visit Syrian Refugees In Jordan

Ben Carson is traveling to Jordan on Friday to visit a Syrian refugee camp, after facing heavy scrutiny of his awareness of foreign policy. The retired neurosurgeon is to visit Azraq refugee camp in northern Jordan during his surprise trip, reports the New York Times. There he will drop by a hospital, clinics, an “adolescent-friendly space” and a women’s and girls’ center, bringing soccer balls and Beanie babies to distribute among children. “I find when you have firsthand knowledge of things as opposed to secondhand, it makes a much stronger impression,” Carson told the Times before his departure on a chartered flight. Carson’s advisors have framed the trip as an effort to improve his knowledge on the refugee crisis.
