He
said that the Zaatari refugee camp alone houses 80,000 displaced Syrians, noting
that countries need to provide their share within the national response plan
for Syrian refugees.
During
a visit to the Zaatari camp, Faraya pointed out that the number of Syrian
refugees inside and outside the camps in Jordan exceeds 600,000, of whom
129,000 reside in camps.
Faraya
stressed the need to reorganize camp shops and to monitor the health conditions
of refugees inside the Zaatari camp.
During
a meeting with dignitaries inside the camp, Faraya was presented with demands
related to the management of the camp, adding that he will study those demands
positively.
The
funding for Jordan’s response plan to the Syrian crisis alone amounts to $220.7
million out of a total of $2.43 billion for the Syrian crisis for this year, at
a rate of about 9.1%, according to the Ministry of Planning and International
Cooperation.
Jordan
has hosted more than 1.3 million Syrians since the beginning of the crisis in
2011, including 669,922 refugees registered with the UNHCR up till August 15,
