WFP Jordan Situation Report, July 2015

Highlights

• Generous donations were received from the United States/Food For Peace (USD 21.3 million to the EMOP and USD 2 million to the PRRO), allowing WFP to continue vital programmes. In addition to this contribution, others from France and private donors will allow WFP to provide reduced assistance to Syrian refugees in the communities and full assistance in camps through November 2015. Targeted Food Assistance (TFA) for vulnerable Jordanians will now be resumed in September 2015.

• Available funding is still not sufficient to continue assisting all WFP beneficiaries; as of September 2015, 229,000 vulnerable refugees in communities will no longer receive WFP assistance.

• Australian WFP Youth Ambassador Jessica Watson visited Jordan on 14—15 July. She spent the day with a female community leader and her family in Azraq, and visited a Save the Children youth centre in Amman. Watson, the youngest person to sail solo non-stop unassisted around the world, described her experience in Azraq as ”certainly one of the best days” she has ever had.
