The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan shares its northern border with the Syrian Arab Republic, and has been one of the main receiving countries of fleeing refugees since the beginning of the Syrian conflict in 2011.

The focus of this paper was to examine factors affecting provision and accessibility of palliative care in particular for Syrian refugees. The report is published by the Humanitarian Health Ethics Research Group , McMaster University, as part of their research study entitled: "Aid when there is 'nothing left to offer': A study of ethics & palliative care during international humanitarian action."

McMaster University student, Madeline McDonald completed this report within their Masters in Global Health program, under the supervision of Dr. Elysée Nouvet. "Aid when there is 'nothing left to offer': A study of ethics & palliative care during international humanitarian action" is funded by Elrha’s Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises (R2HC) Programme.
