Farrayeh stated during the meeting that the
responsibility for refugees is shared among all countries due to its humanitarian
considerations, necessitating the activation of a
resettlement program for
refugees according to the plans prepared in this regard. He pointed out the
commitment to facilitate voluntary return procedures, as integration is not an
option, and the established truth is that the refugee's homeland is their
original country, Jo24 reported.
Economic strain
He added in the meeting the urgent need to increase the
support provided to enable Jordan to continue its
humanitarian role towards
these refugees. Jordan suffers from economic problems, and the waves of
diasporas into Jordan have contributed to increasing these issues, burdening
the Jordanian government with additional responsibilities across all sectors
and raising unemployment rates among Jordanians.
At the end of the meeting, Farrayeh clarified that the dire
circumstances require financial support for the
World Food Program dedicated
to refugees, especially considering the decrease in external funding for this
program. This situation further adds to the burdens placed on the
Jordanian government and the refugees themselves.
