Hintergrundinformation

With the Syria crisis being in its 7th year Syrian refugees, Jordanian support system and Jordanian host communities are under immense pressure. Jordan hosts more than 660.000 Syrian refugees registered through UNHCR (and many more unregistered Syrians) as of June 1st 2017. Registered refugees receive support from UNHCR and various other INGOs, however this support does not always cover their most urgent needs. As a result, refugees and vulnerable Jordanian resort to negative coping mechanisms such as reducing daily intake of calories/meals, purchasing food and other necessary items on credit or entering under aged children into the workforce or into early marriage. 78.5% of registered Syrian refugees live in urban areas outside of camps, which has had a tremendous impact on the local host community.

A majority (79%) of Syrian refugees have identified cash to buy gas re-fill as their primary need in winter, while 22% reported the need for NFIs (heaters, blankets and mattresses). Refugees living in Azraq camp report – apart from shelter, food and hygiene items – similar needs. They depend on basic services and assistance and have little/no savings or belongings. UNHCR distributes 20JOD/person per month to cover winter needs, which is perceived as insufficient.

Hence, CARE supports refugees – in addition to Case Management including referral, information provision and recommendation – through the provision of Emergency Cash Assistance (ECA) to cover most urgent protection needs in addition to Winterization Assistance (Cash or Non-Food Items) in order to cope with the harsh winter conditions.
