Main Findings

Through this assessment, REACH was able to identify that 75.2% of shelters in Al Za'atari are caravans, showing a positive trend in terms of shelter allocation towards a situation where the entire camp population having adequate transitional shelters. Half (50.6%) of these caravans were received directly from UNHCR, but 41.2% were said to have been purchased, demonstrating that there is a market whereby people are selling the caravans they received from UNHCR, with the potential risk that the most vulnerable families are remaining in tents or other types of relief shelters in order to receive money from the sale of their caravans. The Saudi National Campaign (SNC), One Body, Korea, Qatar and Oman are among the main donors contributing funds towards the distribution of caravans to Al Za’atari camp population.
