The agency obtained 43% of its financial requirements for the fiscal year 2023, as of December 15, 2023. Jordan hosts 55,426 thousand Iraqi refugees registered with the UNHCR, and more than 1.3 million Syrians since the beginning of the Syrian crisis in 2011, including 649,091 Syrian refugees registered with the UNHCR. The UNHCR says that 723,886 refugees are registered with it of all nationalities except the Palestinian refugees who belong to UNRWA, and that is until the end of last year.
