615 refugees resettled from Jordan in first half
Data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) indicates that during the first half of 2026, 615 refugees left Jordan to resettlement countries, with 513 new applications submitted. The majority of those departing are Syrian nationals (426), while the new resettlement requests include 116 Syrians and 397 individuals of other nationalities. Since 2014, the UNHCR has submitted over 120,000 resettlement requests from Jordan, and approximately 79,000 refugees have left the country for resettlement destinations. Resettlement is considered a permanent solution and an important protection mechanism, aiming to transfer refugees from the country of refuge to another country that grants them permanent residence. Priority is given to the most vulnerable refugees, with limited global opportunities meaning that less than 1% of eligible refugees receive resettlement. The majority of applications concern legal and physical protection (49%), followed by survivors of violence and torture (30%), with a smaller proportion involving women, girls, and children at risk.
