With its 173 member States and offices in more than 100 countries, IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. IOM actively participates in the inter-agency coordinated humanitarian and resilience responses to the diverse impacts of the Syria crisis. Now in its tenth year, the armed conflict in Syria has resulted in humanitarian and development consequences well beyond Syrian borders. Over 5.5 million Syrians have taken refuge in neighbouring countries, including Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt. As of 30 June 2021, 668,332 Syrian refugees are registered with UNHCR in Jordan – 81% of which live outside camps. Jordan also hosts 88,397 refugees from other countries than Syria, including Iraq, Yemen, Sudan and Somalia.
In Jordan, the protracted nature of the Syria crisis has taken a toll on refugees and host communities alike, depleting personal savings and assets, straining local service provision and exacerbating vulnerabilities.
