IOM remains ready to increase the delivery of essential, lifesaving assistance safely and swiftly to all those in need across Gaza, once all corridors, crossings, and routes are operational to enable humanitarian aid at scale.
About us
In 1990, IOM established its presence and conducted its first operation in Jordan with the evacuation of 165,000 Third Country Nationals who fled the first Iraqi crisis. In 1999, Jordan became a Member State of the organization. IOM assists government counterparts in developing national instruments to protect victims of trafficking and adapt the staff and facilities to a Humanitarian Border Management situation. In addition, and as part of the United Nations Humanitarian Team (UNHCT) response to the Syrian Crisis, IOM has been facilitating emergency evacuation assistance to Syrian refugees from borders to camps. The process includes pre-registration, transportation, emergency vaccination and fit-to-travel assessments for refugees in Rabaa al-Sarhan, as well as tuberculosis screening and awareness raising for Syrians and host communities inside and outside the camps. IOM is in charge of repatriation assistance to Third Country Nationals (TCNs) fleeing from Syria into Jordan. Learn more about IOM in Jordan.
