Syria’s ongoing war, with 6.6 million internally displaced persons, and more than 5.6 million displaced in the surrounding region and beyond, has made the Middle East the world’s largest producer and host of forcibly displaced population. About 654,000 Syrian refugees are currently registered with UNHCR in Jordan.
Additionally, the Kingdom hosts refugees of Iraqi, Yemeni, Sudanese, Somali and other nationalities, for a total of some 730,000 individuals, making Jordan one of the countries with the highest refugee population per capita, and placing enormous pressure on the country and its host communities.
UNHCR Jordan is now running three main offices across the Kingdom (Amman, Irbid and Mafraq) and has a presence in Jordan’s two main refugee camps, Azraq and Zaatari.
UNHCR works closely with the Government of Jordan and numerous other national and international partners in providing protection and assistance to refugees and asylum seekers, as well as to Jordanian communities affected by the refugee influx.
