Jordan, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) a 93-year-old humanitarian aid organization which operates in 66 countries overseas, appeals to the State Department for resolution. On August 16, 1967 just days after the Israeli-Arab Six-Day ended, Jordan, also known as the "father of refugees," mysteriously disappeared from his hotel in Prague, Czechoslavakia. Four days later, his body was found floating in the Vltava river. After numerous appeals, the murder of this leader in efforts to aid refugees around the world was never solved. (PRWeb Aug 16, 2007)
