Description
UNHCR in Jordan
Since the early 1990s, UNHCR operations in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan have been relatively small, serving a few thousand refugees and asylum-seekers from several countries in the Middle East and North Africa region. In the aftermath of the Iraqi war in 2003, and until 2010, UNHCR Jordan was focusing primarily on meeting the needs of a few thousand refugees, mainly from Iraq.
After the crisis in Syria erupted in March 2011, however, tens of thousands – and later hundreds of thousands – of Syrian refugees were forced to flee across the border and seek international protection in Jordan.
