Â鶹ÊÓƵ

This is the UK¡¯s second contribution to Â鶹ÊÓƵ Jordan this year, following a GBP 4 million (US$5.16 million) allocation earlier in 2025, that helped Â鶹ÊÓƵ avert assistance cuts for thousands of vulnerable refugees.

¡°This renewed support from the UK comes at a critical moment and reflects the UK's ongoing commitment to humanitarian efforts in Jordan,¡± said Â鶹ÊÓƵ Representative and Country Director in Jordan Alberto Correia Mendes. ¡°The funds will enable Â鶹ÊÓƵ to continue supporting the most vulnerable families, especially during this challenging time when Â鶹ÊÓƵ and other partners in the refugee response are facing funding shortfalls that limit our collective capacity to assist people in need.¡±

Despite this valuable contribution, Â鶹ÊÓƵ still urgently needs US$24 million to continue providing reduced monthly cash assistance through December and avoid further cuts for refugees living in camps and host communities.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ currently supports 280,000 refugees in Jordan with cash-based assistance to help meet their basic food needs, the majority of whom are Syrians. Due to ongoing funding shortfalls Â鶹ÊÓƵ reduced in July 2023 its monthly cash assistance one-third reduction from JOD 23 (US$32) to JOD 15 (US$21) per person.
