2026 Syria Regional Appeal - Jordan - Water, Sanitation and Hygiene

About this project

In 2025, focusing on the most vulnerable, UNRWA will deliver vital environmental health services to safeguard the well-being of over 400,000 Palestine refugees across ten official Palestine refugee camps in Jordan. To manage the daily collection, transportation and disposal of solid waste, the Agency plans to hire 134 additional sanitation labourers (bringing the total to the required number of 420), ensuring adequate coverage based on camp population figures. This intervention will address critical environmental health needs while creating short-term employment opportunities for vulnerable Palestine refugees. Personal protective equipment and hygiene kits will be provided to all 420 sanitation labourers, who will also be given Hepatitis B vaccinations as a protective health measure. Additionally, up to 13 solid waste trucks will be hired, as needed, to support efficient waste management operations, helping maintain clean, safe living environments for all camp residents.
