Neither DFID, nor the UN Refugee Agency has exact figures on the number of child refugees with disabilities in UN refugee camps. The UK is also pressing the UN Refugee Agency to ensure that all protection and assistance programmes are accessible to all vulnerable groups, including people with disabilities so that no one is left behind. The UK has two dedicated programmes supporting refugee children in Jordan and provides support to people with disabilities in the region.
