The Associated Press quoted CARE in a story about the Syrian crisis and the displacement of southern Syrians. CARE told the Associated Press that thousands of displaced Syrians have moved from areas close to the Jordanian border back to towns and villages that recently signed Russian-brokered reconciliation agreements with the Syrian government.

“They are in desperate need of food, shelter and clean water, which is scarce and prohibitively expensive due to the high demand in densely populated areas,” the story said, attributing the update to the “international relief agency, CARE.” The story was published by several outlets including The New York Times and the U.S. News & World Report.
