The scale of the humanitarian crisis
Around the region there are more than 1 million refugees, and the shortfall in support for all countries cannot be ignored. The number of internally displaced Syrians, as well as Iraqis and Palestinians trapped in Syria, demostrates the huge potential for the refugee crisis to escalate.

Jordan currently hosts the highest number of refugees fleeing the crisis in Syria, amounting to one third of the total number of refugees in the region. As of 3 April 2013, 401, 610 persons had arrived in Jordan, ouot of which 337,285 are registered with UNHCR and 64,325 are believed to be awaiting registration. There has also been a huge increase in the numbers arriving monthly.
