DAMASCUS, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) -- The recently captured Nasib border crossing between Syria and Jordan has become ready to receive Syrian refugees eager to return from Jordan, state news agency SANA reported Tuesday.

The report said the Nasib crossing, which was captured by the Syrian army from the rebels in July in the southern province of Daraa, is ready to receive hundreds of Syrian refugees from Jordan, which hosts 1.4 million Syrian refugees.

The report did not reveal further details about the possible opening of the crossing for trade use between the two countries.

The crossing is the only official border point with Jordan and it was closed off since the rebels captured it in 2015.

Ahead of the crisis, the crossing was the busiest border crossing in Syria as it is situated on the Damascus-Amman international highway.

It is important to Jordan as the country is now suffering from economic difficulties, which led to the eruption of protests in June and government sackings.

When Jordan closed the crossing in 2015, the Hashemite kingdom has suffered from big losses as 70 percent of the country's exports and imports were through Syria, according to Nabil Ruman, head of the Investors Board of the Jordanian Free Zone.

Reports also said that losses of the Jordanian transportation sector resulting from the border closure is estimated at around half a billion U.S. dollars.
