Jordan
Over 1.3 million refugees remain in Jordan, placing significant strain on the country’s economy and social services. Despite Jordan's efforts to integrate refugees, the prolonged crisis, combined with economic challenges, high unemployment, and rising living costs, has left 3.4 million people both refugees and vulnerable Jordanians in need of humanitarian aid.
Humanitarian Needs
Jordan continues to face significant challenges from its refugee crisis:
- 70% of Syrian refugees live below the poverty line.
- 1 in 3 children in refugee camps experience malnutrition.
- 22.6% unemployment, with even higher rates among women and youth.
Refugees face barriers to employment, education, healthcare, and basic services, while vulnerable Jordanian communities also face increased pressure on jobs and resources.
