AMMAN (Reuters) - Jordan's foreign minister Ayman Safadi will head to Syria and Turkey on Wednesday in a "show of solidarity" after the quake that killed thousands of people in both countries, his ministry said.

Jordan, which neighbours Syria, has sent large shipments of aid to both countries with the kingdom sending a medical hospital to Turkey and organising several large aid convoys through the country's northern border crossing with Syria.
