AMMAN: Jordan’s Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh met with David Miliband, CEO of the International Rescue Committee, to discuss refugee affairs, Jordan News Agency reported on Thursday. 

During the meeting, Khasawneh briefed Miliband on the services Jordan offers refugees despite the economic strain the country is under in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The prime minister said that Jordan faces a growing burden hosting refugees, as foreign aid for the country’s response plan to the Syrian crisis has dwindled.

The international community, organizations and donors must maintain solidarity in addressing the impact of crises, he said.

Miliband highlighted  IRC operations in Jordan, which include providing humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering of refugees.

The IRC is a nongovernmental organization established in 1993 to support humanitarian aid and international development efforts.
