By Bushra Shakhshir ZAATARI CAMP, Jordan (Reuters) – Over five years of Syria's civil war, tents have given way to sturdy shacks in Jordan&039;s Zaatari Refugee Camp, dusty tracks have been paved, acquiring names, and a generation has been born to parents who fear their children will never see home.

A notice issued by the Indian Health Ministry at the weekend said that a government-appointed committee of experts had found that the banned combinations were “likely to involve risk to human beings, whereas safer alternatives to the said drug are available.” The government notice said the ban would take effect immediately.
