Ar-Raqqa Governorate, February 2018 OVERALL FINDINGS1 Ar-Raqqa Governorate, February 2018 Humanitarian Situation Overview in Syria (HSOS) OVERALL FINDINGS1 Coverage Ar-Raqqa governorate is located in northeast Syria. The Euphrates River flows through the governorate and TURKEY into Al-Thawrah Dam, the largest hydroelectric dam providing electricity in Syria, although years of conflict have impacted the Dam and limited its ability to generate electricity. Only approximately a quarter of the AL HASAKEH communities assessed in Ar-Raqqa reported access to the network, with the majority relying on generators ALEPPO as their main source of electricity however, Marj Al-Zuhor community reported having no electricity source. The majority of assessed communities reported that between 76-100% of pre-conflict populations remained in their communities. Only one, Debsi Afnan, reported that members of the original population left in February due to protection concerns. Of the 15 assessed communities, 12 reported a presence of IDPs, approximately 80,000 IDPs in total, the majority (70,000) of whom were residing in Al-Thawrah community. No returnees have been reported in assessed communities in the governorate since December 2017, when 1,900 individuals returned to Al-Thawrah2. However, at the height of conflict in the area in mid-2017, there were only approximately 15,000 individuals residing in Al-Thawrah community, meaning that there has been significant population movement into Al-Thawrah since conflict subsided. Additionally, Al-Thawrah is the only assessed district that reported a lack of fuel.

  • Mobility Dynamic Monitoring Report - Ix with Updated Populations
    NEEDS AND POPULATION MONITORING © NPM 2016 SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC MOBILITY DYNAMIC MONITORING REPORT - IX WITH UPDATED POPULATIONS JUNE 2016 Preface Needs and Population Monitoring (NPM) Mobility Dynamic Monitoring – June 2016 assessed 5,490 locations within 14 accessible governorates of Syria with 96% coverage1. This round involved 12 team leaders, 17 Data Process Assistants, 148 enumerators and 16,663 key informants (KIs). This exercise focused on the movement of the target population categories that occurred solely during the month of June 2016. NPM Mobility Dynamic Monitoring Questionnaire (B3 Form – Annex III) is used for data collection. Data collection is based on direct observations in the field and the best estimates of the KIs at the community level (also referred to as village/neighborhood), who are expected to have a good knowledge of the communities they are living in. NPM Mobility Dynamic Assessment includes eight major categories of targeted population (Annex I). The first category is related to the current resident population within Syria affected by shelter damage and who is forced to move to another shelter within the same location. The following two categories are the resident populations within Syria who are currently absent from their location of origin because they fled to another location (either within or out of Syria). The fourth category relates to returnees2 who had fled the location before but returned, and the last four categories refer to Syrian and non-Syrian internally displaced persons (IDPs) who arrived or left the location during the assessed period. Catching mobility patterns in real time has proven a difficult exercise considering the extremely dynamic population movements within Syria.

  • Highlights Situation Overview
    Syria Crisis: Ar-Raqqa Situation Report No. 9 (8-19 June 2017) This report is produced by the OCHA Syria Crisis offices in Syria, Turkey and Jordan. It covers the period from 8 – 19 June 2017. The next report will be issued on or around 28 June 2017. Highlights Heavy fighting between the SDF and ISIL in Ar- Raqqa city continued as the SDF made advances in the northwestern and eastern parts of the city. Since early June, an estimated 50,000 people have been displaced in Ar-Raqqa governorate, some for short periods. Of these, 7,655 IDPs have so far been verified by CCCM cluster as remaining displaced for longer periods. The situation continues to be fluid, with new displacements coexisting with rapid return movements to areas taken over by SDF. Those fleeing the fighting in Ar-Raqqa city continue to face a number of protection risks, including punitive measures put in place by ISIL, threats posed by landmine and other weapon contamination, family separation, forced recruitment at check points, as well as the removal of identification and restricted movement upon entering displacement camps. In the wake of SDF advances, the conduct of hostilities in Ar-Raqqa city is of grave concern for the protection of civilians. The humanitarian community continues to call for all parties to the conflict to uphold their obligations under IHL to spare the civilian protection from harm and to consider their protection and safety as paramount. Following approval by the Government of Syria, WFP successfully completed a first trial delivery from Homs to Qamishly via Aleppo to assess the road conditions and the security situation along the route.

  • OCHA Syria Crisis Offices with the Contribution of All Sectors in the Hubs and at the Whole of Syria (Wos) Level
    Syria Crisis: Northeast Syria Situation Report No. 19 (6 November – 10 December 2017) This report is produced by the OCHA Syria Crisis offices with the contribution of all sectors in the hubs and at the Whole of Syria (WoS) level. It covers the period from 6 November – 10 December 2017. The next report will be issued on or around 10 January 2018. Highlights The overall humanitarian and protection situation for civilians displaced from Ar-Raqqa city remains of high concern, particularly with regard to explosive hazards contamination, amongst other factors. Surveys and clearance of potentially contaminated areas is required to ensure access for humanitarian partners and create a safe environment that is conducive for safe, voluntary and informed returns. Despite continued messaging against returning to areas contaminated with explosive hazards, death and injury due to mine explosions continue to be reported with alarming frequency with trauma cases nearly doubling since the height of the military offensive. Between 20 October and 13 December, approximately 209 civilians were reportedly killed and hundreds of others injured due to presence of explosive hazards in Ar-Raqqa city. The humanitarian community has developed a joint position paper on the return to Ar-Raqqa city, highlighting the imperative of safety, voluntary, well informed and sustainable return as the criteria guiding interventions in support to the return of the displaced population. Ongoing military operations in Deir-ez-Zor and associated heavy aerial attacks have reportedly resulted in hundreds of civilian casualties, as well as increased civilian displacement. During the reporting period, an alarming number of unconfirmed indiscriminate airstrike attacks against 15 IDP sites reportedly killed 166 civilians and injured hundreds more.
