We Need YOUR Help
Jordan has been directly affected by the refugee crisis in Syria. According to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), it has the second highest share of refugees compared to its population in the world, with 89 refugees per 1,000 inhabitants. Though the Jordanian government has issued thousands of work permits for refugees, many still remain severely under-resourced, facing hunger and exposure to brutal weather.
The humanitarian situation in Jordan is concerning:
- There are a total of 740,160 refugees
- 80% of Syrian refugees live below the poverty line — to confirm, it’s specific to Syrian refugees, and doesn’t include Palestinian/all refugees?
- 51% of refugees are children
- 4% of refugees are elderly
