Syrian refugee camps in Jordan were built following the influx of 1.4 million Syrians, escaping the Syrian Civil War. There are 5 Syrian refugee camps in Jordan, 3 of which are official while the rest are temporary. However, only 650,000 Syrians are registered with the United Nations, and around 90% of Syrians do not live in these camps, but in Jordanian towns and cities.[1]
These are:
- Zaatari (opened July 2012)
- Mrajeeb Al Fhood (opened April 2013)
- Azraq (opened April 2014)
- King Abdullah Park (KAP) (in Irbid Governorate, opened 2012; small camp housing Syrians and Palestinians)[2]
