Fayez added that so far in 2022, the UNHCR received 29 percent of the funding needed to continue the services provided to refugees in Jordan.

The Jordan Response Plan to the Syrian crisis required $2.28 billion for 2022, of which, in the first half of this year, only $235 million, or some 10.3 percent, was received, according to the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation.

Fayez said that certain donor countries give grants and funding at intervals during the year. Some have already honored their pledges for September­–December 2022, which is an indication that donors are committed to provide the funding within months.
