Farrayeh emphasized the role Jordan plays through hosting
its
large population of Syrian refugees, which relieves this pressure from
other nations. He stressed this alongside the massive drop in aid and funding
from the
international community to aid in supporting this
refugee population.
He said that the Syrian crisis has depleted natural,
economic, healthcare, and educational resources, as well as infrastructure,
water, and energy sources due to the increased pressure on these resources
originally designated to serve a limited number of Jordanian citizens.
Migration and Jordan
Farrayeh said that understanding migration is a top priority
for the Jordanian official authorities, which are dedicating their attention
and care to it through the Migration Governance project.
The Ministry of Interior and relevant authorities have
established a unified database to identify migration patterns, whether they are
legal or illegal, regular or irregular migration, as well as combating
human trafficking and human rights.
He affirmed that the goal of establishing the database is to
formulate evidence-based policies by providing accurate information and
indicators resulting from this data.
