MAFRAQ, Jordan - Piles of cots, secondhand clothing and shoes lay stacked in storage units a short drive from the Syrian border. Aid workers bustled through a nearby building, packing bagged bread and canned food for Syrian refugees seeking shelter from mounting violence that has terrorized their lives and homes several miles north of here.
"We were with Bashar," Manal Ahmad said, carrying her 2-year-old daughter as volunteers dropped off bread and blankets at her home in a poor part of town.
