Winter can bring harsh weather across Jordan. That's why UNHCR and partners prepare each year in refugee camps to help keep families safe and reduce risks.

@EU4MENAGulf @francediplo_EN @francediplo @CrisisActionGER @GermanyDiplo @BMI_Bund @JapanMissionGE @MFA_Lu @cooperation_lu "What comes next?" That question was at the heart of today's conversations in Azraq.

@Refugees spoke about their hopes, concerns and plans for the future, whether in #Jordan or, one day when they decide so, back in Syria.

[UNHCR Jordan @UNHCRJordan]

At Azraq camp today, donors met the teachers, health workers, protection staff and community volunteers helping keep essential services running.

Behind every UNHCR and partners’ service is a frontline worker making difficult circumstances a little more manageable.

A business owner. A parent. A student. A neighbor.

Today's conversations with refugees in Jordan were a reminder that supporting refugees goes beyond providing assistance. It's also about opening doors to opportunities where people can contribute, earn a living & build a future.

Kicking off the donor mission in Jordan by meeting young people gaining practical skills through vocational training. 

They made one thing clear: a certificate is more than a qualification. It can open doors to opportunity, independence and greater choice.

Today I visited Zaatari camp and saw firsthand how much refugees rely on @appeal_health services supported by @KSRelief_EN.
Their support, from chronic disease care to rehabilitation services, is a lifeline for many.

من مخيم الأزرق للاجئين في الأردن إلى دورة الألعاب الأولمبية للشباب - دكار 2026!

يحمل فريق من اللاجئين شغفهم بالبيسبول ⚾ ومواهبهم إلى منصة التنافس العالمية في السنغال، ليثبتوا للعالم كيف تخلق الرياضة آفاقًا جديدة، وتقرّب المسافات، وتفتح نوافذ الأمل.

الأحلام لا تعرف حدودًا. 💙

On #UNDay2026, we recognize the strength of collaboration. Across #Jordan, the UN works hand in hand with government, partners and communities to support resilience, opportunity and progress for @Refugees, vulnerable communities and future generations.

[UNHCR Jordan @UNHCRJordan]

Over 352,000 @Refugees registered. Nearly 1 million calls to the Helpline each year.
With 🇪🇺 funding, UNHCR keeps registration centres running, brings documentation services closer to refugees & answers calls from those seeking information and support.

على مدى 75 عاماً، أسهمت الاتفاقية الخاصة بوضع اللاجئين في تحويل الحق في الحماية من مبدأ قانوني إلى واقع ملموس.

فالحماية لا تقتصر على البقاء على قيد الحياة، بل تعني التمتع بالحقوق والفرص التي تتيح للإنسان إعادة بناء حياته.
