Jordan state television reported on Monday that an ammonia gas leak had been reported at an industrial complex in the southern port city of Aqaba, prompting a precautionary evacuation. The Aqaba port, a major energy and logistics hub, is home to a 1,200km Arab Gas pipeline that connects Egypt with Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, as well as a pipeline connecting Jordan and Iraq that is currently in planning stages.
The port is significant to global energy markets due to its role in supplying Egyptian gas to markets in the Middle East, including Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel through the Arish-Ashqelon pipeline. At this time, there are no immediate reports of casualties or further details on the cause or extent of the leak.
