Vulnerable Palestinian refugees in Jordan have called for emergency cash assistance by UNRWA to help them survive the multiple hardships inflicted by the protracted displacement and loss of livelihoods.
In appeals emailed to AGPS, refugees called for shelling out monthly cash aid to Palestinian refugees in addition to the three-month grants and to provide them with in-kind and food items.
Palestinian refugees from Syria (PRS) in Jordan are confronted with increased hardship and vulnerability, due to long-term displacement and difficult socio-economic conditions, coupled with the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to UNRWA, 100% of PRS in Jordan are in need of winterization assistance and 17,800 PRS are in need of UNRWA cash assistance.
More than 2 million Palestine refugees registered with UNRWA live in Jordan.
There are ten recognized Palestine refugee camps throughout the country, which accommodate nearly 370,000 Palestine refugees. Jordan hosts the largest number of Palestine refugees of all of the UNWRA fields.
The majority of Palestine refugees have sought humanitarian assistance in Jordan, where they continue to suffer from abject poverty and live in a precarious legal status.
