There are ten recognized Palestine refugee camps throughout the country, which accommodate nearly , Palestine refugees, or 18 per cent of the country total.
The majority of them are believed to suffer from abject poverty and live in a precarious legal status. All programs in Jordan are affected by lack of funding, which limits the number of people UNRWA can support and the number of staff it can employ. In Jordan, UNRWA runs schools providing basic education from first to tenth grade, for more than , students.
The Agency also trains more than teachers each year at university level. Most students at the training centre and educational science faculty are female.
Since , the Agency has supported UNRWA schools in taking more responsibility for their own development and building stronger links with their local communities. The Agency runs 24 primary health care centres, serving a population of more than 1. Most people in the camp work in temporary manual labour jobs such as construction or working in food service, and they have no benefits or job security. As a result, not only do the camps physically isolate the Palestinian refugees from the Jordanians but also poor working and living standards of the camps separate the refugees from the rest of the society.

As a result, it may be true that many people have been affected by COVID and its measures, but not everyone has been experiencing this crisis the same way.
