JORDAN. Amman. 2021. A TV in the home of a refugee family from Iraq, living in Amman. Jordan has a long history of hosting refugees of various backgrounds with an estimated 90,000 individuals of nationalities other than Syrian seeking refuge there. As of June 2020, 66,845 Iraqis, 14,727 Yemenis, 6,080 Sudanese, 746 Somalis, and 1,609 persons of other nationalities were present in the Kingdom. While these communities comprise an integral portion of Jordan’s refugee population, they have faced severe obstacles in receiving services and assistance and in accessing legal pathways and registration on the basis of status and their nationality, which has had dire consequences that must be urgently addressed, particularly in light of the increased challenges related to COVID-19. Non-Syrian refugees in Jordan face significant challenges in meeting their basic needs. 67 percent of non-Syrian refugees surveyed by WFP were food-insecure, with Somalis and Sudanese being particularly vulnerable as 23 to 24 percent experience food insecurity despite efforts made to fill the gap. Non-Syrian refugees face highly limited healthcare coverage, despite their recent inclusion in the health multi-donor account and continue to face obstacles in making appointments, dealing with external referrals, and accessing available medication. The most recent data shows that 45 percent of those with chronic health conditions are unable to access medicine and 38 percent are unable to access services due to the cost. Non-Syrian refugees also must pay full education enrollment fees and possess proof of residency or a parent’s work permit to register, leading to barriers in accessing education.
