A new report by World Bank and UNHCR revealed that there is a jump in poverty among refugees during pandemic, adding that cash programmes that help offset impact must be scaled up in 2021.
The report published this week examines the impact of COVID-19 on pushing Syrian refugees and their host communities in Jordan, Lebanon and the Kurdish Region of Iraq (KRI) into poverty.
The report found that an estimated 4.4 million people in host communities, close to one million Syrian refugees, and a further 180,000 internally displaced Iraqis in KRI have fallen below the poverty line since the onset of the crisis.
The report also notes how the existence of well-established refugee registration and cash delivery systems prior to COVID-19 enabled organizations like UNHCR to quickly scale up their response and mitigate some of the worst impacts on the most vulnerable.
Efforts by aid actors and governments in the regions were found to help reduce the impact on poverty. But they need to be scaled up. Much more is needed.
