An AGPS report titled “Palestinians from Syria in Jordan” and issued on December 3 said that 21% of Palestinian refugees who fled Syria to Jordan carry Syrian travel documents, 56% carry Jordanian documents, while 22% hold Palestinian travel documents.
The report pointed out that 17,719 Palestinians from Syria have sought shelter in Jordan according to UNRWA statistics until October 2018.
PRS who have entered from Syria and remain in Jordan irregularly are living under continuous risk of arrest, detention and potential for forced return to Syria. Their lack of legal status and corresponding protection risks in Jordan are a source of major concern.
After eight years of conflict, Palestinian refugees in and from Syria continue to face significant humanitarian and protection needs. In the absence of a durable political settlement, intense hostilities and violence resulting in deaths and injuries, internal displacement, loss of livelihoods, decreases in the provision of public services, and extensive damage to civilian infrastructure have disrupted the lives of civilians and severely undermined coping mechanisms.
