Toukan said that
the decline in aid provided by the international community to Jordan to support
the refugees is a consequence of the global political and economic crises.
According to
Ministry of Planning data, the deficit amounts to 79 percent, or $1.78 billion.
Toukan said that
the government will continue its humanitarian role, providing needed services
to Syrian refugees, within the available capabilities, and is committed to
hosting refugees until they return to their country voluntarily.
She also said that Jordan
is constantly reminding the international community of its responsibility to
provide support and funding to the refugees.
