615 refugees resettled from Jordan in six months
During the first half of 2026, the documentation recorded the departure of 615 refugees from Jordan to resettlement countries, with 513 new resettlement applications submitted during the same period, according to data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The departing refugees included 426 Syrians and 189 from other nationalities, while the new applications comprised 116 Syrians and 397 individuals from various other countries. Since 2014, UNHCR has processed 120,064 applications and a total of 79,239 refugees have left Jordan to resettlement countries. Resettlement remains a permanent solution for refugees, aimed at providing protection and support, and fostering solidarity with Jordan and its host communities, despite the limited availability of places worldwide. The data indicates that 49% of resettlement applications relate to legal and physical protection needs, 30% involve survivors of violence, and approximately 7% of the most vulnerable refugees—around 32,000 individuals—are expected to benefit from resettlement programs. However, less than 1% of these refugees currently have the opportunity to do so due to a shortage of available places.
