JOB CONTEXT
A critical humanitarian situation
The unrest in Syria began in the southern city of Deraa in March 2011 and the military crackdown failed to stop it, instead triggering anti-government protests in other towns and cities across the country, including Baniyas, Homs, Hama, Idled, Aleppo and the suburbs of Damascus. The Syrian authorities have responded to anti-government protests with overwhelming military force since they erupted. Since the beginning of the crisis, 17,000 people were killed according the last toll of the Syrian Watchdog for Human Rights, two third of them being non-fighting civilians. In addition, the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic (GoS) Humanitarian Assistance Response Plan estimates that 1 million people are in need of humanitarian aid, among which, those located near areas subject to armed hostilities, people relocated due to the unrest, host communities and those affected by the general economic impact of the crisis. This yearlong unrest has also caused the displacement of civilians fleeing from violence in the neighbouring countries, mainly in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey.
Out of the total concerned refugees in the region, as of January, 31st 2014, about 593,186 have fled to Jordan. However, actual numbers are most probably higher due to the reluctance of some refugees to be registered because of security concerns or the geographical distance of registration offices from areas where they reside.
The current situation in Jordan is volatile and changing with an important variation in refugee arrivals. Refugees are settling in majority in community but Za’atari camp currently hosts an estimated 75,000 refugees. A contingency camp has been setup in Azraq but it is not yet operational. Border control seems to be tighter than in the early period of the conflict but hundreds of people continue to arrive on a daily bases including many injured.
PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
The HI Emergency Response department launched a regional emergency intervention for the most vulnerable people affected by the Syrian crisis started beginning of May 2012, both in north Jordan and Lebanon. This intervention is conducted following 2 main axes:
1 - Ensure that refugees with injuries (or sequel of injuries) have access to essential rehabilitation and complementary services and therefore avoid developing further impairments and vulnerabilities, both at secondary level- Tripoli and northern Jordan- and community level -Bekaa Valley in Lebanon and northern Jordan.
2 – Ensure that the most vulnerable people affected by the Syrian crisis and their families see their vulnerability reduced and are better able to cope with the situation through the better coverage of their basic and specific needs (directly or through referrals/channeling) -Bekaa Valley in Lebanon and northern Jordan.
In 2013, to meet the needs due to the constant increase in refugee number in Jordan, HI Emergency Response department has increased its support activities in North Jordan at community level and in refugee camps and expanding its interventions in Central Jordan.
In Jordan, HI has setup two bases in Mafraq and Irbid and is providing direct services both in camps and communities as well as in hospitals. HI is currently expanding its activities on these two bases with the introduction of a cash response component, reinforced rehabilitation services through fixed points and is also looking to expand its activities in Amman, with the opening of an additional operational base in Amman.

Identification and assessment of the basic and specific of most vulnerable populations (including persons with injuries, persons with disabilities, persons with chronic diseases, older persons) 2.
