Our work in Jordan

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been present in Jordan since 1967 as part of its internationally recognized humanitarian mandate. Today, the ICRC focuses on supporting families of missing persons as a result of the conflict in Syria, and their host communities, in collaboration with the Jordan National Red Crescent Society (JNRCS) in certain areas, whilst monitoring the situation of persons deprived of their freedom in different places of detention. Additionally, the ICRC promotes International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and International Human Rights Law (IHRL) within the Jordanian Armed Forces, Public Security Directorate, Gendarmerie, academic circles, and other stakeholders. It also facilitates humanitarian aid shipments to conflict-affected populations in the region and beyond—including in Gaza, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, and South Sudan—through its regional Logistics Supply Center in Amman.

Our work with the Jordan Red Crescent

In the regional delegation, cooperation work is based above all on providing support to the National Society to develop its capacities. Cooperation is an active part of the humanitarian response before, during and after emergencies or conflicts. Among our most important activities are responding to migration in the region, training first aid teams that work in dangerous areas and delicate situations and strengthening accountability, transparency and financial sustainability mechanisms.
