Palestinian refugees from Syria (PRS) in Jordan have denounced delays in aid delivery by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
Palestinian refugee woman Umm Muhammed Noubani said: “We’ve run out of patience. It’s been three months now since we have not received our cash aid. For how long should we keep waiting?”
UNRWA said in its 2022 budget appeal launched in Geneva that the number of PRS in Jordan has remained relatively stable for a number of years, with 19,000 PRS recorded with UNRWA until the end of 2021. Of these, 349 reside in King Abdullah Park (KAP), facing movement restrictions and a number of protection concerns.
According to UNRWA, 100% of PRS in Jordan are in need of emergency 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 UNRWA fields.
