Bringing Urgent Support to Displaced Families in Crisis
Current Situation in Jordan
Jordan hosts hundreds of thousands of refugees, primarily from Syria and Palestine. Many of these families live in overcrowded camps or urban poverty, struggling to meet their basic needs. With limited access to employment, healthcare, and education, daily survival remains a challenge—especially during harsh winters and economic downturns. Children suffer from trauma, lack of schooling, and malnutrition. Parents are often unable to work or provide stability, relying heavily on humanitarian aid. The situation remains critical, with more families falling below the poverty line each year.
The refugee camp in Mafraq, Jordan, commonly known as the Zaatari Refugee Camp, is one of the largest refugee camps in the world and serves as a temporary home for thousands of Syrians who have fled conflict in their country. Established in 2012 near the Syrian border, the camp provides essential services such as shelter, education, healthcare, and food assistance.
While Zaatari Refugee Camp was created to shelter Syrians fleeing civil war, Jordan continues to host large numbers of refugees from different backgrounds, including longstanding Palestinian refugee communities. The experiences of these groups reflect the continuing impact of conflict, displacement, and the need for international support to provide safety, education, healthcare, and opportunities for vulnerable families seeking stability and hope for the future.
What Have As-Salaam Done So Far
As-Salaam Humanitarian Foundation has been deployed on the ground twice since December 2024:
- Distributed over 250 food parcels and 300 hot meals to refugee families in Mafraq.
- Provided over £7,000 worth in winter kits (blankets, heaters, clothing) to families, children and elderly people.
- Installed four portaloo cabins in three different camps to provide cleaner sanitation.
- Distributed over 250 hygiene packs to females who most desperately need them.
We remain committed to ensuring every donation reaches those in greatest need—quickly and with dignity.
The situations of Syrian and Palestinian refugees are influenced by recent geopolitical developments, economic conditions, and the persistent challenges inherent in prolonged displacement and we will be there to lend a helping hand, relieving some of them with that ever so important aid.
