UNHCR records 77% funding deficit for refugee needs in Jordan
Ammon News - Total financial contributions to support the operations of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Jordan until the end of May 2025 have risen to approximately $86 million, representing 23.7% of the total estimated needs of $372.8 million, with a financial deficit estimated at approximately 77%. The UNHCR reported that it distributed cash assistance worth $2.7 million, benefiting approximately 17,000 refugee families living in host communities. It also stressed that despite this funding, it faces significant pressures resulting from budget cuts, which have significantly impacted core activities. Funding cuts, in early May, led to a significant reduction in the level of support allocated to people with special needs, by nearly 90% compared to 2024, the UNHCR indicated. In addition, the UNHCR noted that it had organized the transfer of more than 800 refugees from Azraq and Zaatari camps to receive specialized health care outside the camps. More than 15,000 registered Syrian refugees returned to Syria in May 2025, representing a 45% increase compared to April, when approximately 10,500 refugees returned, according to the UNHCR. The total number of returnees from Jordan to Syria from December 8, 2024, to the end of May 2025 reached approximately 75,500 refugees.

Meta reportedly hires four more researchers from OpenAI
Ammon News - Looks like Meta isn't done poaching talent from OpenAI. Earlier this week, TechCrunch reported that Meta had hired influential OpenAI researcher Trapit Bansal, and according to The Wall Street Journal, it also hired three other researchers from the company. Now The Information is reporting four more Meta hires from OpenAI: Researchers Shengjia Zhao, Jiahui Yu, Shuchao Bi, and Hongyu Ren. This hiring spree comes after the April launch of Meta's Llama 4 AI models, which reportedly did not perform as well as CEO Mark Zuckerberg had hoped. (The company was also criticized over the version of Llama that it used for a popular benchmark.) There's been some back-and-forth between the two companies, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman suggesting that Meta was offering '$100 million signing bonuses' while adding that 'so far, none of our best people' have left. Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth then told employees that while senior leaders may have been offered that kind of money, 'the actual terms of the offer' were more complex than a simple one-time signing bonus.
