Jordan calls for increasing aid for refugees
AMMAN, Jordan (AA) – Jordan has called for rallying efforts to increase aid to refugees in the Middle East region.
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi met in Amman with High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Filippo Grandi, to discuss efforts to provide needed aid to refugees.
Al-Safadi underlined the need to secure support for countries hosting refugees to help them address their needs.
The top diplomat praised the strong partnership with UNHCR to provide vital services to 1,300,000 Syrian refugees in ten refugee camps in Jordan.
UNHCR, however, estimates that there are 750,000 registered refugees living in Jordan, most of them Syrians. There are also 66,000 Iraqi refugees, 14,000 Yemenis, and 6,000 Sudanese.
