| The current study aimed at focusing on the influence of COVID19 pandemic breakout on poverty level of Syrian refugees in Za'atari camp in Jordan. Study included fields of interest like (Awareness of COVID19, Access to essential services, Access to health services, Employment, and Education). Quantitative approach was employed through a questionnaire distributed on (500) Syrian refugee who have a permission to leave the camp and work within different regions in Jordan. SPSS v. 27th was used to screen and analyze gathered primary data, in addition to descriptive statistics and linear regression. Results of study indicated that COVID19 increased poverty level among refugees regardless of UNHCR attempts to contain the crisis. Results focused mainly on the impact on education and healthcare services which were negatively affected due to the pressure of COVID 19 closures and the inability of refugees to afford buying such services. Study recommended gathering national efforts to help Za'atari camp residents and Azraq camp to have full access to better healthcare services and the need for urgent investments in health, education, and employment programs for refugees and their host communities, as in the event of failure to address the effects of the Coronavirus, the damage may be irreversible and may persist for generations. | ||
