CA-3-D003096001 2026-09-10T06:32:49 December 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 13.5 million people inside Syria, including 6 million children, are in need of humanitarian assistance. Combined with over 4.2 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, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugess (UNHCR) is providing assistance to the 630,000 registered Syrian refugees living in Jordan through a two-pronged protection and operational strategy aimed at meeting the needs of vulnerable populations both in camps and in urban areas. Project activities include: (1) providing 300,000 Syrian refugee and asylum-seeker families with cash grants; (2) providing 15,000 households with seasonal support; (3) overseeing camp coordination and management; and (4) ensuring the provision of health care services. Furthermore, UNHCR also continues to support the Government of Jordan in implementing the Jordan Response Plan, which includes separate components to address the needs of refugees and activities to strengthen the resilience of both refugee and host communities.
