ICMC helps Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians prepare for winter in Jordan

JORDAN, 7 February 2014 (ICMC) – This week, ICMC Amman successfully completed its EU-funded winterization project in Jordan for Syrian refugees. Despite a country-wide shortage, ICMC identified reliable suppliers that were able to deliver the badly needed heaters and gas cylinders, during one of the coldest winters in many years.

For the second year in a row, with the funding support from the European Commission Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection department (ECHO), ICMC was among the very first NGOs in Jordan to complete winterization and successfully provide 825 vulnerable Syrian and Jordanian families with a gas heater, gas cylinder and 11 re-fill vouchers in the chilly wind-swept governorate of Ajloun.

On 6 February, the ECHO Technical Advisor visited ICMC to monitor the result of the distribution and congratulated ICMC on the successful outcome.
