Since the beginning of the unrest in Syria at the start of 2011, Jordan is now hosting more than 625,000 registered refugees who have fled the violence in Syria. The prolonged crisis and continued arrival of refugees in Jordan has continued to put a strain on Jordanian infrastructure and essential services. This is felt most keenly in the urban areas where around 83% of Syrian refugees are living.

IFRC initially launched a regional appeal to support National Societies in Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan in their assistance to Syrian refugees. In October 2014 IFRC Jordan launched its own appeal with the intention of providing services to both Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians mainly in the fields of cash assistance and community health education.
