The FPSC has been entrusted by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) to improve the lives of the disabled Syrian refugees in the South of Jordan. <\/p>\n

This will be carried out through a distribution program of technical aid (wheelchairs, crutches, etc.) and a physiotherapy treatment program. Both programs are funded by the United Nations, through the Emergency Response Fund of OCHA. <\/p>\n

There are currently more than 500,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan. 30 percent of the Syrian refugees (about 150,000 people) live in refugee camps and receive humanitarian assistance from UNHCR and various NGOs, like the FPSC. <\/p>\n

However, the remaining 350,000 Syrian refugees are present throughout the country, in villages, towns and cities. They are settled between the host community, often beyond the reach of humanitarian services and assistance. <\/p>\n

The intervention of the FPSC which is funded by OCHA targets especially these refugees. The project of the FPSC in Jordan is supported by AHS, one of its local partners, and is complemented by other interventions similar to the one of the FPSC. This project receives the support of AECID and is launched in different countries which are affected by the conflict, like Syria, Lebanon and Jordan\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The war in Syria is a military conflict caused by the so-called Arab Spring. The opponents are the government led by Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian regular army. In May 2013, after two years of conflict, the number of deaths caused by the war is estimated to be around 80,000 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
