With overlapping crises and natural disasters around the world making communities more vulnerable, Japan\u2019s new contribution ensures that some of the most vulnerable refugees living in Jordan do not fall deeper into food insecurity,\u201d said WFP Representative and Country Director, Alberto Correia Mendes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The contribution was announced by the Ambassador of Japan to Jordan, Mr. OKUYAMA Jiro, during a joint field visit with the WFP Representative and Country Director, to a Syrian beneficiary family receiving WFP\u2019s monthly food assistance in Amman.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmid increasing global food price, the Government of Japan acknowledges the alarming levels of food insecurity and the heightened vulnerability of refugees in Jordan. We hope our assistance, in collaboration with WFP, will support the food security and nutrition of vulnerable populations, particularly female-headed households and families with persons of disabilities,\u201d noted the Ambassador OKUYAMA.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>465,000 refugees in Jordan are currently receiving monthly cash-based assistance from WFP to help meet their basic food needs. Refugees residing in communities receive US$21 (JOD 15) per person per month, while extremely vulnerable families living in camps and local communities, receive US$32 (JOD 23) per person per month.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Over the past ten years, Japan has contributed more than US$36 million to support WFP\u2019s activities in Jordan. This includes supporting direct food assistance and livelihood activities and enhancing food security for Jordanians and refugees at risk.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations World Food Programme is the world\u2019s largest humanitarian organization saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters and the impact of climate change.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Source: EMM\/ Saving Lives Changing Lives<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AMMAN \u2013 The Government of Japan contributed US$1.1 million to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) in Jordan to provide nutrition-sensitive food assistance to more than 27,000 Syrian refugees living in camps and host communities for one month&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
