أَعْلَنَتِ السُّلُطَاتُ الأُرْدُنِّيَّةُ السَّيْطَرَةَ عَلَى تَسَرُّبٍ مَحْدُودٍ لِغازِ الأَمُونْيَا فِي الْمُجَمَّعِ الصِّنَاعِيِّ بِالْعَقَبَةِ، يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ سِبْتَمْبَرَ ٢٠٢٦. وَحَدَثَ التَّسَرُّبُ أَثْناءَ أَعْمالِ صِيانَةٍ دَوْرِيَّةٍ فِي الْمَوْقِعِ.
وَأَفادَ مُحافِظُ العَقَبَةِ بِإِصابَةِ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ شَخْصًا، وَكانَتْ مُعْظَمُ الإِصابَاتِ خَفيفَةً أَوْ مُتَوَسِّطَةً. وَنُقِلَ أَرْبَعَةٌ مِنَ الْمُصابِينَ إِلَى الْمُسْتَشْفَى، بَيْنَما تَلَقَّى الْباقُونَ الْعِلاجَ فِي عِياداتِ الْمُجَمَّعِ.
وَأَغْلَقَتِ الْفِرَقُ الْمَحْبَسَ الرَّئِيسِيَّ لِوَقْفِ التَّسَرُّبِ، وَنَقَلَتِ الْعامِلِينَ إِلَى نِقاطٍ آمِنَةٍ داخِلَ الْمَنْشَأَةِ وَفْقَ خُطَّةِ الطَّوارِئِ. وَلَمْ يَشْمَلِ الْإِخْلاءُ الْمِنْطَقَةَ كُلَّها، وَقالَتِ السُّلُطَاتُ إِنَّ الْوَضْعَ صارَ تَحْتَ السَّيْطَرَةِ.
وَقالَتْ سُلْطَةُ مَنْطِقَةِ الْعَقَبَةِ الِاقْتِصادِيَّةِ الْخاصَّةِ إِنَّ فِرَقَها عَمِلَتْ مَعَ الْجِهاتِ الْمَعْنِيَّةِ وَفْقَ إِجْراءاتِ السَّلامَةِ. وَأَظْهَرَتْ فُحوصُ الْهَواءِ عَدَمَ وُجودِ تَلَوُّثٍ. وَتُواصِلُ الْفِرَقُ فَحْصَ جَاهِزِيَّةِ الْمَوْقِعِ قَبْلَ اسْتِئْنافِ الْعَمَلِ، مَعَ مُراجَعَةِ إِجْراءاتِ السَّلامَةِ.

Jordanian Authorities Contain Ammonia Gas Leak in Aqaba
Jordanian authorities announced that they had contained a limited ammonia gas leak at the Aqaba Industrial Complex on Monday, September 14, 2026. The leak happened during routine maintenance work at the site.
The Aqaba governor reported that fourteen people were injured, with most injuries described as minor or moderate. Four injured people were taken to hospital, while the others received treatment at the complex’s clinics.
Teams closed the main valve to stop the leak and moved workers to safe points inside the facility under the emergency plan. The evacuation did not cover the whole area, and authorities said the situation was under control.
The Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority said its teams worked with the relevant bodies under safety procedures. Air tests showed no pollution. Teams are continuing to check the site’s readiness before work resumes and to review safety procedures.
