Growing Restrictions;; Tough Conditions: The Plight of those Fleeing Syria in Jordan
The content of this report relating to Jordan is largely based on a research visit to the country in June 213. The Amnesty International delegation met with representatives of the Jordanian authorities,UN agencies,international humanitarian agencies,non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and charities,as well as more than 15 refugees from Syria in refugee camps and in host communities. The purpose of publishing this report is to draw attention to the difficulties faced by people from Syria as they flee their country in search of safety. While the report mainly focuses on the situation in Jordan,it also updates information the organization has previously published on the challenges facing refugees from Syria in other neighboring countries and further afield. The Amnesty International has looked closely at the challenges faced by refugees in Jordan and,in particular,those in Za’atri camp,the largest for refugees from Syria in Jordan. It has investigated how the refugees have to contend not only with harsh desert-like living conditions but also high levels of criminality and other security-related fears.
