Damascus / Rif Damascus: The situation remains unpredictable in Damascus/Rif Damascus Governorate. This week, an UNRWA teacher from Khan Esheih camp, Nasri Hassan was killed due to injuries sustained from shelling. Nasri Hassan is the sixth UNRWA staff member to be killed in the Syria conflict. In the afternoon of Wednesday 13 March 2013, during a period of intense armed engagements, Mr. Hasan’s home on East Street in Khan Esheih camp was reportedly struck and damaged by an artillery shell. As Mr. Hasan, his wife and four teenage children were fleeing on foot to the relative safety of a makeshift shelter, he was seriously wounded by shrapnel from a nearby explosion. The only hospital in Khan Eshieh camp was not functional, so Mr. Hasan was rushed to Kamal Hospital in Jdaydeh, some nine kilometres from Khan Eshieh camp. He died of his wounds on 14 March 2013. UNRWA has received reports of at least 25 Palestine refugees killed in the area this week. The situation continues to deteriorate in Khan Esheih camp and there are reports that refugees have started to flee the area. The majority of residents from Yarmouk, Sbeineh, Seyeda Zaynab and Hussieniyeh have not returned to the camps due to high risk of exposure to violence and conflict­related restrictions on movement. UNRWA is gravely concerned over reports that armed groups in Seyeda Zaynab camp are targeting refugees who are trying to flee the camp. Aleppo:UNRWA has received reports of armed groups restricting access to Neirab camp. The situation is dire in the camp with refugees pleading for assistance. Armed conflict in the area of the adjacent airport has contributed to the tense situation in the Aleppo area. There are reports of the kidnapping of international NGO workers in Syria, close to the border of Turkey. UNRWA facilities remain operational. Dera’a: Clashes resumed in the southern part of town, Dera’a al Balad, followed by security operations (including movement restrictions) in various parts of the town. Shells impacted within Mzerieb, allegedly in response to armed opposition elements operating from within the village, resulting in injuries to two Syrian villagers. The security situation close to the border with Jordan has deteriorated. Shelling intensified around the village of Tel Shihab, preventing access to the village. In Kherbet Ghazalah, an improvised explosive device detonated right after a convoy of four WFP armoured vehicles had passed on its way to the Jordanian border (approximately 20 km from the border). There was minor damage caused to an armoured vehicle and the mission was abandoned. UNRWA facilities were temporarily closed in the Dera’a area due to high risk of exposure to violence. Homs: The situation in Homs severely deteriorated this week with intermittent shelling of the city centre and intensive clashes in Bab Amr, Karm Shami and Jouret Arayes. There are reports of armed groups in the camp and the situation remains tense. Three Palestine refugee women (residents of the camp) reportedly went missing while visiting relatives and friends in other parts of the city. UNRWA facilities are operational, however, schools were closed as a precautionary measure. Hama: Despite clashes in the vicinity of the camp, the town and camp remain relatively calm and UNRWA facilities are operational. Lattakia: There has been no change in the situation in Lattakia. Main roads from Damascus to Lattakia and Homs remain accessible. UNRWA facilities are operational. Lebanon There are currently approximately 32,000 Palestine refugees who have crossed into Lebanon since the start of the conflict. In Lebanon, Palestine refugees from Syria are dispersed in Saida, northern Lebanon, Beqa’a, central Lebanon Area and Tyre. Emergency shelter remains the most pressing need of Palestine refugees in Lebanon where the majority of them are sheltering in www.unrwa.org/etemplate.php?id=1675 2/4 3/16/13 Syria crisis situation update (Issue 38)-UNRWA Palestine refugees in Lebanon where the majority of them are sheltering in overcrowded camps. Particular attention has been paid to the continuation of children’s education despite their displacement from Syria to Lebanon. Currently, there are approximately 3,000 Palestine refugees students from Syria who are continuing their education in UNRWA schools, both in regular and special classes. UNRWA has provided cash assistance, clothing and food vouchers to vulnerable Palestine refugee families from Syria, many of whom are entirely dependent on humanitarian assistance and the host community to survive. JORDAN On 11 March 2013, in a press conference at UN Headquarters in New York, Filippo Grandi UNRWA Commissioner General noted that, unlike Syrian nationals, Palestinians had “limited flight options” as neighbouring countries, such as Jordan, had capped their admittance numbers to the Palestinian refugee population. Additional high­level attention to the situation of Palestine refugees seeking refuge in Jordan came from the UNHCR High Commissioner Antonio Guterres who, at a press conference in Amman on 13 March, made a public plea to governments of countries surrounding Syria to keep their borders open to Palestinian refugees from Syria. The number of Palestinian refugees from Syria (PRS) registered with UNRWA in Jordan has increased to 4,695. Of those, 218 reside in Cyber City, the government appointed facility in Irbid Governorate. In the last week, health services were provided to 160 PRS through UNRWA Health Centers.

  • Chapter IV: the Implications of the Crisis on Host Communities in Irbid
    Chapter IV The Implications of the Crisis on Host Communities in Irbid and Mafraq – A Socio-Economic Perspective With the beginning of the first quarter of 2011, Syrian refugees poured into Jordan, fleeing the instability of their country in the wake of the Arab Spring. Throughout the two years that followed, their numbers doubled and had a clear impact on the bor- dering governorates, namely Mafraq and Irbid, which share a border with Syria ex- tending some 375 kilometers and which host the largest portion of refugees. Official statistics estimated that at the end of 2013 there were around 600,000 refugees, of whom 170,881 and 124,624 were hosted by the local communities of Mafraq and Ir- bid, respectively. This means that the two governorates are hosting around half of the UNHCR-registered refugees in Jordan. The accompanying official financial burden on Jordan, as estimated by some inter- national studies, stood at around US$2.1 billion in 2013 and is expected to hit US$3.2 billion in 2014. This chapter discusses the socio-economic impact of Syrian refugees on the host communities in both governorates. Relevant data has been derived from those studies conducted for the same purpose, in addition to field visits conducted by the research team and interviews conducted with those in charge, local community members and some refugees in these two governorates. 1. Overview of Mafraq and Irbid Governorates It is relevant to give a brief account of the administrative structure, demographics and financial conditions of the two governorates. Mafraq Governorate Mafraq governorate is situated in the north-eastern part of the Kingdom and it borders Iraq (east and north), Syria (north) and Saudi Arabia (south and east).

  • Syrian Refugees in Host Communities
    Syrian Refugees in Host Communities Key Informant Interviews / District Profiling January 2014 This project has been implemented with the support of: Syrian Refugees in Host Communities: Key Informant Interviews and District Profiling January 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As the Syrian crisis extends into its third year, the number of Syrian refugees in Jordan continues to increase with the vast majority living in host communities outside of planned camps.1 This assessment was undertaken to gain an in-depth understanding of issues related to sector specific and municipal services. In total, 1,445 in-depth interviews were conducted in September and October 2013 with key informants who were identified as knowledgeable about the 446 surveyed communities. The information collected is disaggregated by key characteristics including access to essential services by Syrian refugees, and underlying factors such as the type and location of their shelters. This project was carried out to inform more effective humanitarian planning and interventions which target the needs of Syrian refugees in Jordanian host communities. The study provides a multi-sector profile for the 19 districts of northern Jordan where the majority of Syrian refugees reside2, focusing on access to municipal and other essential services by Syrian refugees, including primary access to basic services; barriers to accessing social services; trends over time; and the prioritised needs of refugees by sector. The project is funded by the British Embassy of Amman with the support of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). The greatest challenge faced by Syrian refugees is access to cash, specifically cash for rent, followed by access to food assistance and non-food items for the winter season.

  • An Introduction to Islamic Archaeology Archaeology Islamic To
    13064 eup Milwright:layout 9/2/09 12:33 Page 1 AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION TO ISLAMIC ARCHAEOLOGY TO ISLAMIC ARCHAEOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO ISLAMIC ARCHAEOLOGY In the beginning was the Qur’an,- the first book of Islam and also the first book of Arabic literature. Occasioned by the need to understand and interpret the word of God, and the teachings of the Prophet Muh. ammad, Muslims made an inventory and study of their tradition. This involved the collection, transmission and instruction of the sacred text, of the words and deeds of Muh. ammad, and also of poetry, from both before and after the rise of Islam – indeed of all matters regarded as pertinent to the proper and scholarly study of the tradition. This activity, which began in the last third of the seventh century, relied predominantly on aural study with a master, that is, on oral communication between teacher and student, although writing was already an integral part of this process. In the present work Gregor Schoeler explains how Muslim scholarship evolved from aural to read. The result was the genesis of one of the richest literatures of late antiquity and the early middle ages, as is clear from the widespread dissemination of scholarship through writing and the attendant proliferation of books. Gregor Schoeler is Professor and Chair of Islamic Studies in the Orientalisches Seminar at the University of Basel. His many publications include The Oral and the Written in Early Islam (2006). Shawkat M. Toorawa is Associate Professor of Arabic Literature and Islamic Studies at Cornell University. He is the author of Ibn Abi Tahir Tayfur and Arabic Writerly Culture (2005).
