UNHCR Jordan is continuing in its efforts to lower the barriers to registration in response to concerns that vulnerable Syrians were unable to cover the cost of travelling to Amman. This weekend, UNHCR organised transportation for a number of Syrians residing in Al Mafraq, in the north of Jordan, to BO Amman. In total, 39 cases, representing 110 individuals were registered with the Agency.

On March 2, more Syrians crossed with some 50 families arriving in Aarsal, and 170 families in Fakha village. According to the mayor of Aarsal, there are an additional 75 families in Mashariia Al Qaa, although some NGOs place the number at twice that amount. The most reliable estimates place the total number in the Bekaa to be around 4000 persons/ UNHCR is working to verify the current numbers.

During the reporting period, UNHCR implementing partner, Caritas, carried out a distribution in Mafraq in the north of Jordan. The distribution package included blankets, mattresses, school kits, hygiene kits and sanitation kits along with other much needed household items. The number of beneficiaries for this distribution was 45 families, and was part of a three day process reaching out to families, single males, and single females with targeted assistance.

The UN refugee agency announced on March 13 the appointment of a veteran of emergency operations to coordinate its approach to the refugee crisis in Syria and neighbouring countries. As Regional Refugee Coordinator, Panos Moumtzis will be based in Geneva and work closely with the refugee agency\'s Middle East and North Africa Bureau and UNHCR representatives in concerned countries. The Arabic speaker\'s brief will also be to ensure smooth cooperation with inter-agency coordination mechanisms. He will travel frequently to the region.

Following the high level mission to Chinegodrar over the weekend (9-11March), UNHCR and IOM went back on 12 March to start registering those refugees who are willing to move to either Ouallam or Abala. Registration is expected to go on until the end of the week. Work at the Ouallam site remains stationary. UNHCR site planner, WASH expert and ACTED have started to develop the Abala site.

The joint assessment mission (OCHA, WFP, UNICEF, Africare and the Nigerien Red Cross) submitted its report on 12 March, with the following conclusions: refugees in the area are not new, although information is new. They come from in Mali (Andrambukane). They have no food and have received NFIs by UNHCR. Water, sanitation, health, nutrition and other services are major assistance gaps.

WASH: MSF(CH) will implement all WASH activities in refugee areas. MSF has set up water bladders in Ayourou, Mangaize, in addition to Chinegodrar and Ouallam. UNHCR will conduct a study of permanent water supply to replace the costly water trucking. MSF will also set up WASH activities in Abala camp.

Health and Nutrition: After the joint field health assessment mission, projects identified for implementation by UNHCR are: the provision of transport and ambulances, rehabilitation/expansion of health centres, construction of staff quarters and procurement of basic equipment, to be activated immediately for the Departments of Tilabery, Ouallam and Fillingue.
