  • Ar-Raqqa (Household Surveys) August 2018
    Syria Shelter and NFI Assessment: Ar-Raqqa (Household Surveys) August 2018 CONTEXT AND METHODOLOGY Map 1: Sub-districts assessed Since the conflict in Ar-Raqqa city ended in October 2017, access to the city and the governorate has increased, however, remains challenging due to the prevalence of unexploded ordnance.1 The removal of contaminated soil in Ar-Raqqa governorate started in June 2018, but significant challenges persist. Displacement in the governorate is likely to be protracted as individuals return to their community origin, regardless of the security challenges. To provide up-to-date information on shelter conditions and NFI availability and affordability across northern Syria, REACH conducted an assessment on behalf of the Shelter and NFI Cluster and in partnerships with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Findings presented in this factsheet are based on data collected between 24 June and 2 August 2018 from a total of 819 households across 89 communities and 7 sub-districts in Ar-Raqqa governorate. Households were sampled to allow findings to be generalisable with a 95% level of confidence and 10% margin of error at the sub-district level, and at least the same level of confidence and margin of error at the regional level. This factsheet also refers to data from a similar assessment from July 2017 in order to highlight significant trends.2 KEY FINDINGS This assessment found that a high proportion of Spontaneous returnees’ (SRs) last place of departure was within Ar-Raqqa governorate (92%). 90% of SR households in the governorate reported property ownership as the primary reason for returning to their community of origin.

  • Situation Overview Key Figures
    Turkey | Syria: Humanitarian Dashboard - Cross Border Response Jan-Mar 2016 (Issued on 04 May 2016) SITUATION OVERVIEW Conflict between non-state armed opposition groups (NSAOGs), the Islamic State and Government of Syria continued during most of the first quarter of 2016, resulting in various impediments to humanitarian programming across Syria. Most notably, in the months of January and February, GoS and allies intensified attacks on civilian infrastructure, including medical facilities, schools, IDP camps, bakeries and humanitarian warehouses, stymieing humanitarian access to many vulnerable communities across Syria. This in attacks resulted in even more communities being displaced from the Northern Aleppo countryside and elsewhere in Northern Latakia. By the end of February, a ‘cessation of hostilities’ agreement brokered by the US and Russia came into effect, resulting in significant reduction in hostilities between NSAOGs and the GoS across most of Syria, allowing more access to displaced communities for many humanitarian agencies in Aleppo, Idleb, Latakia and Hama. Despite a reduction in violence, isolated incidents have continued in key areas around access routes into Aleppo City between Kurdish forces and NSAOGs, leading to intermittent impediments along the Castello Road supply route. In eastern Syria, air strikes continued to impact civilian infrastructure under ISIL control, resulting in further degradation of hospitals, as well as vital electricity and water networks in Raqqa and Aleppo governorates. Under UNSC resolution 2165/2258, UN and its partners sent 41 consignments from Turkey (16 from Bab al-Salam - BAS, 25 from Bab al-Hawa- BAH) to the Syrian Arab Republic consisting of 1,341 trucks. 1,130 of these trucks used the BAH border crossing while the remaining 211 crossed from BAS border crossing.

It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment of, in general, whether one or more of the following applies: x A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm x The general humanitarian situation is so severe as to breach Article 15(b) of European Council Directive 2004/83/EC (the Qualification Directive) / Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iii) of the Immigration Rules x The security situation presents a real risk to a civilian’s life or person such that it would breach Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iv) of the Immigration Rules x A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) x A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory x A claim is likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and x If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.
