FACTSHEET Azraq Refugee Camp, Jordan Syria Crisis October 2014
OVERVIEWNumber of refugees in Jordan: more than 600,000
Number of refugees in Azraq camp: 40,000 – 50,000 people in the initial stage.
It can be expanded to support more than 100,000 if needed. Currently more than 14,000 people live in Azraq camp (October 2014).
The camp is expected to take pressure off the Za’atari camp,
which is hosting approximately 80,000 refugees. Za’atari is the second largest refugee camp in the world after
Daadab, in Kenya.
Location: in the middle of the desert, some 20 km away from Azraq town.
Distance to borders: Syria – 90 km; Iraq – 255 km; Saudi Arabia – 75 km.
Climate: very hot during summer days and cold nights in the winter. The camp is situated in the desert with frequent sand storms.
Structure: subdivided into eight villages, of which four have been constructed or are being in its final stages. Each village
has the capacity to house 10,000 to 12,500 people – Each village will have its own community centre, primary health post, community police post, women and child friendly spaces, sports grounds. To access schools, supermarket, hospital and mosque refugees have to leave their respective village as those facilities accommodate refugees from several villages.
Shelters and facilities: Around 10,000 shelters and water and sanitation facilities for up to 50,000 people have been constructed
(as of July 2014).
Difference between Azraq and Za’atari camps: Whilst in Za’atari camp all services are centralised, in Azraq there are separate villages, with refugees in each village having their own community centres, primary health facilities and friendly spaces. There are no tents in Azraq and for protection reasons water and sanitation facilities are in the immediate vicinity to the dwellings.

There is currently no electricity in Azraq camp however various solar based solutions have been introduced such as street lights and solar lanterns. In September, public transport was established in the camp. Lastly, an informal market place has been designated in the camp, open for Jordanian businesses from outside the camp and for Syrian refugees living in Azraq. The market place is being constructed during September and October and will be opened soon.
PROVISION Of INfORmAtION AND ORIENtAtION CARE provides vital information to refugees upon arrival in the reception/waiting areas, as well as on an on-going basis through its community centres and outreach activities. This way, refugees learn about the structure of the camp, where and how to access essential services, and what their rights and duties as residents of the camp are. COmmUNItY-BASED ACtIVItIES Activities provided through our two community centres and four friendly spaces include: provision of essential information; psychosocial support through peer-to-peer support groups; case management and follow-up for the most vulnerable cases to ensure that refugee families can access essential services and receive the support that they need; mobile re-charging facilities; coordination of volunteering opportunities for the in-camp refugees; funeral services; recreational activities such as sports, drama, art and craft activities; training and workshops on topics such as conflict resolution, household management, parenting skills. CARE identifies the most vulnerable refugee households (including female-headed households, senior or disabled refugees) and assessess their specific case, providing them
with a safe and open space to raise their concerns, and connecting them to essential services. COmmUNItY mOBILISAtION CARE identifies community representatives and sets up village coordination committees so that refugees are involved in the decision making process in the camp. The refugee representatives are the interlocutors between the service providers in the camp and its population. They ensure grievances, viewpoints and preferences from the refugees are brought to the attention of the camp management and are being addressed in a negotiation process. CARE works with community representatives – both women and men – so that the specific needs and concerns of female and male camp residents are indentified and addressed appropriately. CARE’s community centres are envisaged to become internet hubs, enabling refugees to connect with the outside world and stay in touch with their families. CARE works closely with the UN and other humanitarian agencies and its friendly spaces can be used for anything that’s needed – for social gatherings, therapeutic support, workshops, prayer, functions, training or information dissemination.
CARE Jordan has extensive experience providing community services to refugees, and has been running successful programmes for Syrian and Iraqi refugees living in urban settings. CARE has helped Syrian refugees through its four urban community centres (East Amman, Zarqa, Mafraq and Irbid and through a partner organisation in Azraq town). CARE has povided emergency cash assistance to refugees so that they can pay for basic living costs (such as rent, medication and food) since the onset of the crisis, as well as vital information so that they know how to access further health, legal and social support. CARE also provides psychosocial assistance to women, men and children. During the winter months, CARE helped families to prepare for and cope with the cold weather, distributing cash, heaters, fuel vouchers, blankets and floor mats. In the region, CARE’s provision of life-saving services to Syrian refugees and host communities has reached more than half a million people. Globally, CARE has extensive experience working with refugees, and is one of the key agencies providing support to refugees in Kenya (Dadaab camp) and Chad.
