dc.description.abstract | Syrians currently comprise the largest group of refugees worldwide, with
the number of people who have fled the country totalling nearly five million.
Although hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees landed in Europe
in 2015, the vast majority have remained in the immediate vicinity of their
home country in the Middle East. In the main receiving countries, they are
in urgent need of conflict-sensitive assistance.
•• Jordan has taken in more Syrian refugees, in relation to the number of its inhabitants,
than has Turkey, but far fewer than Lebanon. From a legal point of
view, these refugees in Jordan live in an uncertain limbo between temporary
protection and structural marginalisation.
•• Within Jordan, the majority of Syrians live in the capital of Amman and in the
border towns and communities of the north, while a significantly smaller portion
lives in the official refugee camps. In addition, some tens of thousands of
refugees are subsisting in makeshift refugee camps without any aid or infrastructure.
They are located in the no man’s land between the Jordanian, Syrian,
and Iraqi borders.
•• In northern Jordanian cities such as Mafraq, property owners and local entrepreneurs
are profiting from the presence of refugees and the influx of international
aid money. However, the Syrians and many Jordanians are suffering
from the subsequent price increases and the tight labour and housing markets.
•• This situation harbours potential for conflict, since the competitive climate on
the ground could deepen prejudices between Jordanians and Syrians. However,
apart from a few exceptions, the existing tensions have not escalated into violence
so far.
Policy Implications: The ongoing war in Syria is making the return of the refugees in the foreseeable
future unlikely. Since European countries, including Germany, are not willing
to grant protection to a larger number of Syrian refugees, the host countries in
the region are in dire need of a substantial increase in international aid. In this
context, the heterogeneous reality of Syrians living in Jordan – be it in cities, villages,
or camps – should be given more consideration. | en |
