CA-3-D002255001 2026-07-16T06:32:50 March 2015 - The humanitarian situation in Syria continues to deteriorate as a result of the civil war and intensified violence in the country. The United Nations estimates that 12.2 million people inside Syria, including 5.6 million children, are in need of humanitarian assistance. Combined with 3.8 million Syrians seeking refuge from the conflict in neighbouring countries, this is the largest number of people displaced from conflict in the world. Women and children are particularly vulnerable to the consequences of the conflict and host countries are increasingly overstretched by the influx of people fleeing the conflict. With DFATD's support, Mercy Corps is helping to meet the immediate protection concerns of Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians living in host communities in northern Jordan. Project activities include: (1) providing 2,000 vulnerable Syrian refugees and Jordanian families with emergency cash assistance to meet urgent needs; (2) providing 500 vulnerable Syrian refugees and Jordanian families with financial assistance to meet urgent medical needs; (3) providing awareness sessions regarding services and support available within host communities; and (4) developing integrated support networks amongst Syrian refugee and Jordanian families.
