Middle East: Jordan

Middle East : Jordan

What is happening?

Jordan has been a host to a large number of refugees, including those from Syria and Iraq. The prolonged conflicts in the region have created a strain on resources and infrastructure, impacting both the refugee population and host communities. Jordan has demonstrated resilience in providing assistance, but the need for sustained international support remains critical.

What must be done?

The international community should continue to support Jordan in its efforts to host refugees by providing financial aid and technical assistance. Collaborative initiatives must address the long-term needs of both refugees and host communities, including education, healthcare, and livelihood opportunities. Jordan’s role as a key player in refugee hosting requires ongoing global solidarity and engagement.
