Jordan - To date, CARE International has provided 202 Syrian Heads of Households (HH) with emergency cash assistance, of which 31 HH were female. The aim of the facility is to address urgent needs, including: costs for newly arrived refugees waiting for assessment and inclusion in other assistance packages, protection cases, those living in unsafe housing or threatened with eviction, legal support, urgent medical costs not covered by health providers. The amount provided to each case ranges from $350 - $750. The average amount is $400.

Jordan - Families moved today from the Bashabshe facility to the newly renovated Cyber City building in Ramtha. Work is also continuing on the King Abdullah Park site.

Jordan - WFP have begun the distribution of food packages to vulnerable Syrians through implementing partners JHCO and the Jordanian Red Crescent.

The second geographical coordination meeting took place today at Ramtha, with the Regional Refugee Coordinator, Panos Moumtiz in attendance. The meeting was predominantly technical in focus, with a discussion taking place on the challenges faced by the community in Ramtha. Water has emerged as a key challenge, as the presence of the Bashabshe, Cyber City and the King Abdullah Park site place increasing pressure on the ability of the local governorate to deliver water to both the host community and the facilities. Reiterating the words of UNHCR Representative, Andrew Harper, it is critical that host communities receive support from donors.
