UN: We Face a 77% Funding Gap Despite Raising $86 Million to Support Refugees in Jordan - Jordan News
UN: We Face a 77% Funding Gap Despite Raising $86 Million to Support Refugees in Jordan The total financial contributions to support the operations of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Jordan reached approximately $86 million by the end of May 2025, covering only 23.7% of the agency's total estimated needs of $372.8 million, leaving a 77% funding shortfall. اضافة اعلان According to a UNHCR report reviewed by Al-Mamlaka, the agency distributed $2.7 million in cash assistance, benefiting about 17,000 refugee families living in host communities. Despite the funding, UNHCR emphasized it is under significant pressure due to budget cuts, which have severely impacted core services, including in-person consultations, support for persons with disabilities, and community outreach programs. The agency noted that funding cuts in early May led to a 90% reduction in support services for persons with disabilities compared to 2024, affecting counseling, rehabilitation services, and the provision of assistive devices. UNHCR also facilitated the transfer of over 800 refugees from Azraq and Zaatari camps to receive specialized medical care outside the camps. These services included dialysis, emergency obstetric and neonatal care, and life-saving treatments. In parallel, the agency and its partners continued to provide urgent legal, medical, and financial support to around 470 at-risk refugees, including victims of violence, unaccompanied children or child laborers, and individuals facing eviction. In May 2025, over 15,000 registered Syrian refugees voluntarily returned to Syria — a 45% increase from April, which saw around 10,500 returns. Since December 8, 2024, more than 75,500 refugees have returned to Syria from Jordan. UNHCR stated it continues to support voluntary repatriation, organizing transport for thousands of refugees from camps and host communities to Syria — a noticeable increase from April. The agency conducted personal interviews to ensure return decisions were voluntary and informed, and provided information about available services in Syria, in coordination with its office in Damascus. Additionally, 120 refugees left Jordan in May for resettlement in third countries.
