The
UNHCR stated: “The funding, which the commissioner has received
in Jordan since the beginning of the year until August 17, amounted to $199.7
million, with a financial gap of about $205 million.”
The 2021–2022
regional strategy to host refugees indicated that the coronavirus pandemic has
threatened Syrian refugees’ stability and living quality in Jordan, especially
since some of their living indicators have shot back 6 years.
The strategy
also pointed out that the rate of food security among refugees is now equal to
2014 rates. It went on to list water shortages and infrastructure as key
issues, according to Al-Ghad news.
The strategy
also indicated that since the onset of the COVID-19, refugees living in camps
who do not have access to sufficient amounts of food has increased from 5
percent to 19 percent between 2019 and 2020, hitting its worst level since
2014.
In light of
these statistics, the strategy estimated that Jordan needs around JD1.6 million
in 2021 to cover the needs of Syrian refugees.
