ASEZA gives owners of stray camels 48 hours to clear public roads

Aqaba, June 7 (Petra) — The Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority
(ASEZA) on Sunday gave the owners of stray camels a 48-hour deadline
to remove their livestock from public roads and residential areas.

The authority warned that it will take immediate action to expel the
animals from the economic zone’s borders if owners fail to comply.

Sabri Al-Rafou, Director of Control and Enforcement at ASEZA, said
this urgent move responds directly to the immediate hazards posed by
neglected camels to public safety. He noted that the stray animals
cause serious traffic accidents, damage crops and property, and
create negative environmental impacts when left unsupervised.

Al-Rafou confirmed that once the 48-hour grace period expires,
specialized teams will initiate the necessary administrative and
legal measures to permanently expel the camels from the Aqaba Special
Economic Zone.
