  "summary": "An ammonia gas leak occurred at an industrial complex in Jordan's southern port city of Aqaba, injuring 11 people. The leak, which happened during maintenance work on an old pump or pressure equipment, was described as a small quantity of gas that had accumulated in the equipment.\n\nThe injuries ranged from minor to moderate, with sufferers experiencing breathing difficulties. Authorities evacuated the southern port as a precaution following the leak, and access gates leading to the industrial complex were temporarily closed.\n\nThe incident was brought under control, and workers were allowed to return to their sites after teams carried out inspections and confirmed there were no remaining risks. The Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority's commissioner for environment and public safety, Nidal Al-Ouran, said the leak occurred at a site used by a Japanese company.",
