The Delegation specifically focused on supporting families of missing persons, refugees, detainees, and other affected populations, particularly in the context of the Syrian conflict and broader regional challenges, in close collaboration with partners and stakeholders, including the Jordan National Red Crescent Society (JNRCS) and relevant governmental, diplomatic, humanitarian, and security actors.
In addition to supporting families of missing persons in their search for answers and clarification of the fate of their loved ones, the delegation accompanied affected families by providing psychosocial support, legal and financial assistance, and livelihood support to help them cope with the profound challenges they endure.
The delegation also worked to uphold the dignity of detainees through conducting regular visits to places of detention, maintaining detainees’ family links, and enhancing healthcare services in correctional facilities.
The ICRC delegation in Jordan remains a regional hub for promoting IHL and humanitarian principles. As an important step in deepening cooperation between Jordan, the ICRC, and Arab States, and in reaffirming the shared responsibility to uphold humanity during armed conflicts, a high-level regional conference on IHL was organized in Jordan. This conference marked a key milestone in the Global Initiative to Galvanize Political Commitment to IHL; a joint initiative launched by Brazil, China, France, Jordan, Kazakhstan, South Africa, and the ICRC to make respect for IHL a political priority amid an estimated 130 ongoing armed conflicts worldwide.
Additionally, various workshops and training sessions were held for military personnel, legal professionals, students, and government officials. These initiatives aimed to enhance the understanding and implementation of IHL at both national and regional levels. At the same time these efforts highlighted Jordan’s pivotal role as a key partner in advancing humanitarian diplomacy and fostering capacity-building across the region.
Throughout 2025, the ICRC has sustained its collaborative partnership with the JNRCS, focusing on capacity-building efforts to strengthen the JNRCS’s preparedness capabilities and its auxiliary role with local authorities. Additionally, the ICRC has supported key communication initiatives to enhance the visibility of the JNRCS as a strategic humanitarian partner.
The Amman Logistics Support Center continued to serve as a crucial regional hub for the delivery of humanitarian aid and essential supplies, including medical consumables and equipment, relief items, and other goods to conflict-affected areas such as Gaza, Yemen, Syria and beyond.
