The Background
The Syrian Civil War is considered one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time. Hundreds of thousands have been killed. Over twelve million have had to flee their homes. It is estimated that 5.6 million people are currently displaced in neighboring countries. 670,000 Syrian refugees are in Jordan.
As a result of war, millions of people have been driven out of their homes in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. They arrive in Jordan with nothing, and many suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Unable to work legally, many beg or sell their belongings in order to survive.
As of the May 2019 United Nations Human High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) report, one out of fourteen people in Jordan are refugees. That number increases to one in every three when including Palestinian refugees. Out of the 755,050 refugees in Jordan 664,226 are Syrian, 67,563 are Iraqi, and 14,631 are Yemeni.
As long as wars, violence, and instability persist in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, there will be families seeking refuge, wondering where they will find their next meal, and worrying about how they will care for their children. At the forefront of their concerns is medical and dental care.
