The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Jordan announced the expansion of the cash assistance program for Syrian refugees wishing to return voluntarily to Syria, starting from October 18, 2026. The aid includes 355 Jordanian dinars for each family to help cover transportation costs and the shipment of belongings, in addition to 70 dinars for each individual registered with the agency. An extra assistance of 210 dinars is also provided to the most vulnerable families, which include households with persons with disabilities, or serious health conditions, or children with special needs, or large families exceeding eight members. The agency has also enabled refugees to sell the caravans they reside in to facilitate the return process. The number of registered refugees and asylum seekers in Jordan stands at approximately 352,553 people, of whom 93.5% are Syrians. Since December 2024, more than 232,000 refugees have voluntarily returned to Syria.
