Za'atari and Azraq Refugee Camps

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. But funding shortfalls are making the response more challenging and limiting our ability to meet growing needs.

"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.

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.

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. 🔗 bit.ly/3UGnqjg

Breast cancer awareness is stronger when @Refugees and host communities come together. 🎀 This #PinkOctober, Jordanian and Syrian women in Mafraq joined a day of learning, art therapy and discussion on the importance of early detection, health and mutual support. #UNDay2026

What works? What can improve? What can we learn together? During last week's #PROSPECTS Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning sessions, 🇳🇱 representatives and partner agencies visited Amman, Mafraq and Zaatari Camp to exchange lessons and strengthen joint support for @Refugees.

During his visit to Zaatari camp today, @paolozingale heard directly from a refugee family about their reasons for returning to Syria🇸🇾, and saw firsthand how 🇪🇺EU support helps UNHCR sustain vital protection services and assistance for refugees.

Returning or staying? This is the dilemma facing refugees in Azraq camp, as each decision comes with its own considerations. @Refugees share their stories with @paolozingale , Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation in 🇯🇴, offering a glimpse into camp life.
