Jordan

In a little more than 3 years, the Syrian crisis has become the worst humanitarian catastrophe of the 21st Century: More than 150,000 people dead, 6,5 million internally displaced people and nearly 3 million people forced to leave for neighboring countries.

In Jordan, the HCR has registered nearly 600,000 Syrian refugees but their total number is difficult to evaluate. 110,000 of them are in refugee camps and the others live in the different  governorates of the country. The governorate of Irbid, at the Syrian border, is home to 20% of Syrian refugees. Action contre la Faim decided to develop its activities there through different programs in financial and psychological support, food security and access to water.
