AMMAN — The
UNHCR has only received 37 percent of its required funding eight months
into the year and after the agency sounded the alarm, warning of budget
shortfalls, earlier this month, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.
According to a
UNCHR report, the agency requires roughly $408.4 million for its 2022
operations, of which it had received $151.276 million by August 30. The agency
still requires approximately $257.102 million, the report said.
The UNHCR warned
last week that the refugee situation in Jordan could turn into a humanitarian
crisis within months if it was not immediately funded, and that the UNHCR alone
lacked $34 million to implement basic health and cash programs for the rest of
the year.
UNHCR
Representative to Jordan
Dominik Bartsch said that “on behalf of the refugees
and the organizations supporting them, I appeal to the international community
to not forget Jordan and the refugees.”
The agency’s
operations in Jordan for 2022 were 28.94 percent funded by the end of July.
By contrast, the
Jordan Response Plan for the Syria crisis has received $235 million, or 10.3
percent, of its budgeted $2.28 billion, according to the Ministry of Planning
and International Cooperation.
