UNHCR provided regular cash aid to
about 33,000 refugee families in Jordan in June, including 3,000 non-Syrian
families, according to Al-Mamlaka TV.

According to a UNHCR report, however, 2,000 families
are on the waiting list to receive regular cash aid; they are all eligible for
assistance, but do not receive it due to limited funding.
UNHCR-provided monthly cash aid to families helps
meet the basic needs of many “vulnerable refugees who are unable to cover their
needs”.
UNHCR spokesperson in Jordan Meshal Al-Fayez said
that the organization provides families who are most in need of the monthly
cash aid, but that this depends on the amount of funding available to it.
UNHCR is aware that many families need this kind of
assistance, but it gives priority to those who are “most vulnerable” and in
most need, Fayez said, reiterating that UNHCR was unable to include more
families on the list of beneficiaries of aid because of its limited funding.
