By end of 2023, Jordan hosted over 720,000 refugees of different nationalities registered with UNHCR. They come predominantly from Syria, with large groups from Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, and Somalia as well. Some 81 per cent of them live outside of refugee camps and close to 50 per cent are children. UNHCR’s key areas of work include protection activities such as access to documentation and legal assistance; cash assistance; access to healthcare, education; livelihoods; community empowerment and outreach; and camp coordination in Zaatari and Azraq refugee camps. In addition to implementing its mandated activities of protection and seeking solutions, UNHCR in Jordan actively coordinates all actors involved in the refugee response through the Jordan Strategic Humanitarian Committee. UNHCR maintains a robust presence in Jordan through four offices located in Amman, Mafraq, Azraq and Irbid, in addition to three urban registration centres in Amman, Irbid and Mafraq, and some 500 staff.
