The UNHCR-Jordan has secured only 20 per cent of its operating budget in the Kingdom for 2019, the refugee agency said on Tuesday.
As of May 29, the UNHCR has received some $74.8 million out of a $371.8 million needed funding to fulfil this year’s needs for registered refugees residing in Jordan, which number 762,420, according to a report released by the agency.
Jordan is one of the countries most affected by the Syrian crisis, hosting the second highest share of refugees per capita in the world.
