The living conditions of refugees in these settlements, as well as in urban and camp settings, present a further challenge to containing the spread of COVID-19. Social distancing in public is also difficult in the two densely populated main camps, Zaatari (hosting about 76,000 refugees) and Azraq (about 36,000). In urban areas, Syrian refugees live in similarly crowded settings, with dwellings consisting of two or three rooms for households of five or more. Jordan has served as a haven for different groups fleeing persecution throughout history, from the arrival of Palestinian refugees after 1948 and again after 1967, to the acceptance of Iraqi refugees in the wake of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. Since 2012, there has been an influx of Syrian refugees. Recently, Sudanese, Somali, and Yemeni refugee populations also have started to grow, as has the presence of migrant workers from Egypt, and others from African and Southeast Asian countries.」9月8日 15時39分
