Red Crescent relief organization said "Jordan is threatened with disease and hundreds of thousands are threatened with death from starvation and thirst."
An Israeli military source in Tel Aviv said Syrian forces using tanks broke through Jordanian lines Sunday night and early Monday and captured the town of Irbid, second largest population center in Jordan.
The Israeli sources said the Syrians were in complete control of Irbid, which is situated only 18 miles from the Jordan River cease-fire line with Israel.

"When the Regents refused to accept the Student Senate allocation recommendations, the students lost any control of their curriculum," Smoot said.
The committed appropriations by the University are for one year only. At the end of this year, the program will be brought up for review.
"Any program which may lose its funding is on shakey ground," Lewis said. "There is a limited amount of time and resources that people are willing to give to a program like the LA&S series, and unsure funding limits that even more."
Defense Ministry, said U.S. intervention in Jordan may be imminent. In a page one story, the newspaper said American paratroopers may land in Jordan if King Hussein appealed for help.
In Washington, the Pentagon announced that the 82nd Airborne Division in North Carolina and other military forces in the United States and Europe were alerted Monday for possible evacuation duty. The U.S. helicopter carrier Guam was already in the Mediterranean carrying a 1,500 Marine landing force on a similar assignment.
U. S. troops were last used in the Middle East in 1958 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent Marines to Lebanon to prevent an alleged attempt by Egypt and the Soviet Union to engineer the overthrow of the Lebanese regime.
American troops landed in the Dominican Republic in 1965 to protect U.S. citizens and prevent a Communist revolution. American troops were used similarly in China in 1927 and in Mexico in 1914.
In his cease-fire command Monday night, Hussein said he wanted "absolute and strict observance" of the truce to "put an end to the tragedies which the conspiracy has placed on our country."
Hussein's nationwide broadcast said Jordan would never be the same again and appealed to Syrian troops he charged invaded the northern part of the country to make peace with Jordanian soldiers.
The cease-fire order, which took effect at 10:15 a.m. was
issued to Hussein's troops in the capital, military sources said, and presumably excluded forces in the countryside.
"I am asking everybody to maintain security and order and make the greatest effort possible to deal with the regrettable incidents which happened and the sanguinary wounds which were inflicted on our dear country," Hussein said.
A pool dispatch Monday from correspondents in Amman said King Hussein's elite guards have been ordered to make a house-to-house search for the hostages seized by Palestinians who hijacked three jetliners to Jordan earlier this month and blew them up in a plot to secure release of commando prisoners held in Israel, Britain, Switzerland and West Germany.
The newsmen in Amman said the streets were littered with cartridge cases, and that buildings everywhere were pocked with the black holes of artillery hits. Fires were burning on the seven hills of the once beautiful city.
A shoot-on-sight curfew in Amman was lifted briefly. Arab women went into streets dodging sniper fire and carrying shopping baskets past bodies in search of food for their families.
Arab leaders, meanwhile, called an urgent summit meeting for Tuesday in the Egyptian capital of Cairo to stem the tide of the war in Jordan. This could provide a confrontation between Hussein and his chief antagonist in the crisis, Yasser Arafat, the leader of Al Fatah guerrillas.
