The purpose of this study is, therefore, to identify the nature of the humanitarian assistance received by Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan as low-income countries and what are the most critical problems they faced. the research also looks at how the Syrian refugee crisis can be dealt with and responded by these countries. through this comparison, many important points have been reached regarding the status of refugees within the Middle east region and the response mechanism in developing countries.
