UNHCR Jordan registered a record number of individuals during April, with 7362 Syrian individuals presenting themselves at the Amman office.

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 - 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.
