The UNHCR in Jordan has received only 34 percent of its
required funding for 2023, raising concerns of a
potential humanitarian crisis due to reduced international support.

As of August 31, 2023, the
UNHCR in Jordan has received
$131.949 million out of $390.11 million, leaving a funding gap of $258.161
million (66 percent of the total), according to Ammon News.
Severe consequences for refugees
In July, the UNHCR warned of severe consequences for
refugees if the funding crisis persists. Starting in October, financial
assistance to
Syrian refugees in Jordan's camps will cease, with a similar
suspension for those living outside the camps beginning in September.
Jordan hosts nearly 59,000 registered Iraqi refugees and over
1.3 million Syrians since the start of the Syrian crisis, including
approximately 655,000 registered with the UNHCR. As of August 16, 2023, there
are 733,943 registered refugees from various nationalities, excluding
Palestinian refugees under the UNRWA's care.
