Palestinian refugees from Syria in Jordan have expressed concerns over their deteriorating condition particularly in light of the new movement clampdown imposed across Jordanian cities as part of anti-coronavirus measures. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A large number of companies, factories, and shops shut their doors for fear of further COVID-19 contaminations. Several Palestinian families have lost their sole sources of income as a result. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Palestinian refugees have urged the concerned parties to work on toning down their calamitous state of affairs in light of the socio-economic crisis and health setback wrought by the global coronavirus epidemic. 576 people have died of coronavirus in Jordan. The tally of confirmed coronavirus cases stands at nine. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The number of PRS in Jordan has remained relatively stable for a number of years, with 17,343 PRS recorded with UNRWA as of December 2019. Of these,\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>349 reside in King Abdullah Park (KAP), facing movement restrictions and a\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>number of protection concerns.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the opening of Jabeer-Al Nassib border between Syria and Jordan, in\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>October 2018, UNRWA has registered the return of 624 PRS individuals to\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>Syria. As of November 2019, of those returnees, some 227 individuals were\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>displaced again to Jordan for a range of reasons, including the unstable security\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>situation in Syria, problems with civil documentation, lack of economic\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>resources and livelihood opportunities, and high levels of destruction of homes\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>and property.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Assessment conducted by\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>WFP in 2018 indicated that the majority (67 per cent) of PRS were food-<\/span>insecure or vulnerable to food insecurity. Twelve per cent of PRS female headed\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>households were found to be food insecure compared to seven per cent of male-<\/span>headed households. Food insecurity was even higher (78 per cent) in PRS\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>households where the head of household was reported to be completely illiterate.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>Eighty-six per cent of surveyed PRS households were also reported to be in\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>debt.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
