Three Syrian men have gang-raped a 14-year-old girl in Jordan's Zaatari refugee camp, a government official said on Tuesday.
"Police have arrested a Syrian man and are searching for two other Syrian men who gang-raped a 14-year-old Syrian girl in Zaatari on Monday," Brigadier Waddah Hmud, head of the Syrian refugee department, told Agence France Presse.
"Further investigations are under way. The girl is currently at the Family Protection Department to examine her condition, physically and psychologically."
Police confirmed the incident but refused to give details.
"This brings the total number of sexual assaults at the camp to 10 since the beginning of this year," Hmud said.
Jordan is home to more than 500,000 refugees, including around 120,000 in Zaatari, which is located in the north of the country near the Syrian border.
The U.N. refugee agency UNHCR said in August that Syrians who flee their war-torn country face recruitment as child soldiers, sexual violence and exploitation for labor.

These men who raped the girl can NOT belong to the Sunnis-Arab-regimes inspired revolution because remember after every terrorists attacks or every heinous crime committed by Saudi-inspired attackers, the M14 comes out and say, "this can not be us. This is not the spirit and teaching of Islam." I recall since Sep 11 on, every suicide bombing killing innocent is execused by Saudi, M14 and alike as: "this is not Sunni Islam teaching. Our Islam preach tolerence and love." Well, I do not know about your Islam but I know every terrorists, rape act was done by aSunni-regime inspired men. Now I know I will be deleted from this naharnet Saudi-inspired. PATHETIC
