Jordan welcomed the visit of UN Under Secretary General Valerie Amos, who is on a regional tour regarding the Syrian situation. The UNSG met with the Government of Jordan, along with UN agencies who are responding to the current unrest and discussed coordination mechanisms. The UNSG described the current situation as a \"political crisis, with humanitarian implications.

The number of those at the Ramtha Transit Facility is nearing 800 individuals. UNHCR is working with the Government of Jordan to find a more permanent solution.

As greater numbers of Syrians approach UNHCR Jordan for registration, an accelerated registration procedure has been rolled out to ensure that those who want and need protection are responded to as quickly as possible.

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.

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.
