Background
As of October 2020, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) recorded 661,220 registered Syrian refugees in Jordan. Among the Syrian refugee population 25.7 % are women, 23.8 % are men, 24.6 % are girls and 25.9 % are boys. Moreover, Jordan hosts 89,817 refugees from other 57 nationalities. Approximately 83 per cent of refugees live in host communities in urban and rural areas of Jordan. The influx of refugees, now further combined with the socio-economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis, has significantly stretched already limited resources and caused severe stress on Jordan’s economy, social cohesion, fiscal stability and public services, and exacerbated existing inequalities.
