This is done through collecting, analyzing and sharing information on the humanitarian situation in Syria. To this end, the Assistance Coordination Unit through the Information Management Unit established a wide net- work of enumerators who have been recruited depending on specific criteria such as education level, association with information sources and ability to work and communicate under various conditions. IMU collects data that is difficult to reach by other active international aid actors, and pub- lishes different types of information products such as Need Assessments, Thematic Reports, Maps, Flash Reports, and Interactive Reports. 2 Field Developments in Idleb, Northern Hama Countryside, Western Situation Report and Southern Aleppo Countryside During March and April 2019 May 2019 During March and April 2019 3 Field Developments in Idleb, Northern Hama Countryside, Western and Southern Aleppo Countryside During March and April 2019 01.

  • Summry Report of Maarat Al-Numan
    Cover Image: VDC SY Introduction Many villages and regions in Idlib governorate were subjected to hundreds of unlawful airstrikes that resulted in many horrific massacres against civilians. According to figures from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, these massacres left dozens of dead and hundreds of wounded and were a direct cause of the displacement of at least 235.000 people, including at least 140.000 children, from southern Idlib Since 12 December. Moreover, these airstrikes have affected thousands of homes, most of which have been almost completely destroyed. The airstrikes launched by the Syrian Air Force and Russian war fighters were intensified especially in the middle of December 2019 and during the days that followed, dozens of densely populated residential neighborhoods were targeted, systematic and regular attacks were recorded that clearly and unambiguously targeted civil- ian neighborhoods, killing hundreds of civilians and causing huge losses of property to the residents, especially in terms of destroying homes, shops and commercial facilities. 2 Summary The Violations Documentation Center in Syria (VDC) warns of the catastrophic consequences of the military escalation of Syrian government forces and Russian forces in the Maarat al-Numan area, foremost among them is the pushing of thousands of civilians to forced displacement from the region, as the attacks by the Syrian government and Russian forces are using warplanes, heli- copters and surface-to-surface missiles targeting civilian objects, markets, infrastructure, as well as advances on the ground are forcing civilians to be forced displaced from their homes, which will deepen the humanitarian crisis in Idlib governorate.

  • Violations of the De-Escalation Zones Agreement in Idlib Province
    Violations of the De-escalation Zones Agreement in Idlib Province March 30, 2019 The Government of Syria (GoS) has started to blatantly violate the De-Escalation Zone agreement for Idlib province. The area is one of four de-escalation zones established as a result of the De-Escalation Zones Agreement reached between Russia, Turkey and Iran in Astana. This report attempts to shed light on the most significant violations committed by the GoS in the northwest of Syria: in Idlib province, the northern countryside of Hama province and the western countryside of Aleppo province. Idlib The region that includes Idlib province and its surrounding areas is the last major stronghold of the Syrian opposition. The province is one of the main destinations for all Syrian IDPs who have been forcibly displaced from other Syrian regions, as part of the so-called “reconciliation” or ceasefire agreements reached between the GoS and the opposition armed groups. According to the latest statistics of the Assistance Coordination Unit (ACU), the region includes an estimated 3.5 million people, of which one million are IDPs. Field developments and violation of the de-escalation zones agreement in Idlib province By the end of 2018, the GoS had strengthened its military presence on the outskirts of Idlib province. It had shelled villages in Idlib’s southern countryside and in Hama’s northern countryside, in violation of the de-escalation zones agreement. Since the beginning of 2019, roughly 370 violations have been documented, according field observers in the province. Since the beginning of February 2019, the GoS has expanded its military attacks to more than 40 points including the towns of Khan Sheikhun, Maarrat al-Nu'man, Saraqib, al- Tih and Jarjnaz.

  • SITUATION REPORT Hawala Registration in Idleb Governorate
    HUMANITARIAN ACCESS TEAM (HAT) SITUATION REPORT Hawala Registration in Idleb Governorate JUNE 15, 2017 Executive Summary Since mid-May 2017, Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham has taken several noteworthy steps toward regulating the hawala sector in northwestern Syria. These actions could pose a significant challenge to international and local humanitarian organizations implementing projects in northwestern Syria due to potential donor-compliance issues related to Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham. This report provides a brief overview of the hawala market in northwestern Syria, a summary of the steps that Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham has recently taken to establish control over this sector, an analysis of the goals of Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham recent actions, and an assessment of the immediate impact with respect to the hawala market. On May 9, Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham attempted to formally regulate the hawala industry in Idleb by establishing a new governing body, the General Institution for Cash Management and Customer Protection, and demanding that hawalas in northwest Syria register and pay associated fees. Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham’s attempt was initially unsuccessful; few hawala agents in northwestern Syria accepted Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham’s new regulations. Subsequently, Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham waived all fees, and as a compromise, hawala agents in Idleb governorate registered with Hay’at Tahrir Al- Sham. This regulatory initiative occurred shortly after multiple large-scale fluctuations in the USD-SYP exchange rate, the consequence of a substantial cash infusion into opposition-controlled Idleb in mid-April as a part of the Foah and Kefraya evacuation negotiations.
