Following the conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic and the deterioration of the humanitarian situation which is negatively affecting also the neighbouring countries, since 2012 INTERSOS has resumed the operations in the Middle East to contribute towards ensuring emergency relief and social protection assistance for the Syrian refugees fleeing their home in search of safety, with special focus on most vulnerable groups (children, women, elderly and persons with special needs).

In Jordan, INTERSOS has focused its humanitarian response on supporting Syrian families displaced across urban and rural areas, as well as vulnerable host communities, with a programme that concentrates on protection and protection mainstreaming within the different sectors of intervention that compose the Country Strategy (Protection, Child Protection, Education in Emergency, WASH, Shelter and Basic Needs including Cash and Winterization Assistance).

Specifically, in Irbid, Karak and Ma’an Governorates, INTERSOS is implementing projects aimed at mitigating high vulnerabilities of refugees by supporting identified cases with ad hoc multi-responses, while contextually empowering community-based prevention and response mechanisms. Specific support to obtaining documentation for refugees and hosting communities is one among the key programmes aimed at protection vulnerable individuals. INTERSOS applies a multi-sectoral and holistic approach which aims to provide extremely vulnerable families with a comprehensive package of services, ranging from psychosocial support activities and informal education opportunities to WASH and cash assistance.
