  • In the Name of the Displaced Afrin People in Shehba to the World Health Organization
    الهﻻل اﻷحمر الكردي HEYVA SOR A KURD فرع عفرين ŞAXÊ EFRÎNÊ In the name of the displaced Afrin people in Shehba To the World Health Organization The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), in cooperation with the World Health Organization (WHO), issued a report regarding the emergence of corona virus (COVID-19) in the Syrian Republic on / 11th of March 2020 /, the report stated that the Syrian Ministry of Health confirmed the negative of all cases that were suspected and no one was infected. To counter the threat of the virus, the World Health Organization provides all means of support and assistance to the Syrian Ministry of Health to supplement its ability and preparedness to address this epidemic by providing detection and monitoring equipment, training health personnel in several governorates, and providing quarantine centers in addition to holding workshops aimed at enhancing awareness and understanding the risks of the epidemic. The report stated that the readiness of isolation centers was confirmed in / 6 / areas, namely (Damascus, Aleppo, Deir Al-Zour, Homs, Lattakia and Qamishli) and a health center is currently being established that deals with corona cases in Dwer region in the Damascus countryside. What about more than two hundred thousand displaced people in the northern countryside of Aleppo (Al-Shahba)? Through the report, we see great efforts to help the Syrians ward off the threat of this epidemic, but it is very clear that they forgot a very large geographical spot in which thousands of displaced people are present, and whose presence has reached two years, amid great disregard from the World Health Organization and the Syrian government as well.

  • Salvaging Syria's Economy
    Research Paper David Butter Middle East and North Africa Programme | March 2016 Salvaging Syria’s Economy Contents Summary 2 Introduction 3 Institutional Survival 6 Government Reach 11 Resource Depletion 14 Property Rights and Finance 22 Prospects: Dependency and Decentralization 24 About the Author 27 Acknowledgments 27 1 | Chatham House Salvaging Syria’s Economy Summary • Economic activity under the continuing conflict conditions in Syria has been reduced to the imperatives of survival. The central government remains the most important state-like actor, paying salaries and pensions to an estimated 2 million people, but most Syrians depend in some measure on aid and the war economy. • In the continued absence of a political solution to the conflict, ensuring that refugees and people in need within Syria are given adequate humanitarian support, including education, training and possibilities of employment, should be the priority for the international community. • The majority of Syrians still living in the country reside in areas under the control of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, which means that a significant portion of donor assistance goes through Damascus channels. • Similarly, any meaningful post-conflict reconstruction programme will need to involve considerable external financial support to the Syrian government. Some of this could be forthcoming from Iran, Russia, the UN and, perhaps, China; but, for a genuine economic recovery to take hold, Western and Arab aid will be essential. While this provides leverage, the military intervention of Russia and the reluctance of Western powers to challenge Assad mean that his regime remains in a strong position to dictate terms for any reconstruction programme.

  • Highlights Situation Overview
    Syria Crisis Bi-Weekly Situation Report No. 05 (as of 22 May 2016) This report is produced by the OCHA Syria Crisis offices in Syria, Turkey and Jordan. It covers the period from 7-22 May 2016. The next report will be issued in the second week of June. Highlights Rising prices of fuel and basic food items impacting upon health and nutritional status of Syrians in several governorates Children and youth continue to suffer disproportionately on frontlines Five inter-agency convoys reach over 50,000 people in hard-to-reach and besieged areas of Damascus, Rural Damascus and Homs Seven cross-border consignments delivered from Turkey with aid for 631,150 people in northern Syria Millions of people continued to be reached from inside Syria through the regular programme Heightened fighting displaces thousands in Ar- Raqqa and Ghouta Resumed airstrikes on Dar’a prompting displacement 13.5 M 13.5 M 6.5 M 4.8 M People in Need Targeted for assistance Internally displaced Refugees in neighbouring countries Situation Overview The reporting period was characterised by evolving security and conflict dynamics which have had largely negative implications for the protection of civilian populations and humanitarian access within locations across the country. Despite reaffirmation of a commitment to the country-wide cessation of hostilities agreement in Aleppo, and a brief reduction in fighting witnessed in Aleppo city, civilians continued to be exposed to both indiscriminate attacks and deprivation as parties to the conflict blocked access routes to Aleppo city and between cities and residential areas throughout northern governorates. Consequently, prices for fuel, essential food items and water surged in several locations as supply was threatened and production became non-viable, with implications for both food and water security of affected populations.

  • WFP SYRIA CRISIS RESPONSE Situation Update
    WFP SYRIA CRISIS RESPONSE Situation Update 16 - 29 April 2014 SYRIA JO RDAN LEBANON TURKEY IRAQ EGYPT HIGHLIGHTS Fewer people in Syria likely to have received WFP assistance in April Fighting prevents food deliveries to Ar-Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor Anticipated drought-induced drop in Syria’s wheat harvest risks exacerbating food insecurity Vulnerability assessment of Syrian refugees planned in Lebanon New camp for Syrian refugees opens at Azraq in Jordan WFP/Sepideh Soltaninia For information on WFP’s Syria Crisis Response in 2013 and 2014, please use the QR Code or access through the link wfp.org/syriainfo SYRIA DELIVERIES TO HARD-TO-REACH AREAS As part of deliveries targeting 4.25 million vulnerable people across Syria in April, WFP dispatched food for 67,500 people in hard-to-reach areas during the reporting period, most of them in locations controlled by anti-government forces. This included 17 trucks – part of an inter-agency convoy – carrying food rations and fortified wheat-flour for 47,500 people in the besieged town of Talbiseh in Homs governorate, the first such assistance to the area in more than six months. WFP food also reached government- and opposition-held areas of Idleb that had not been previously accessed. As usual, clearance for these convoys required lengthy, painstaking negotiations with numerous warring groups. Distribution proceeded of the rations for 50,000 people trucked into Qamishly city in Al Hasakeh governorate through the Turkish border post of Nusaybeen in late March. By 28 April, that assistance, and food previously airlifted to Qamishly from Erbil in Iraq, had been distributed to more than 90,000 people in various parts of the governorate – over 70 percent of them in opposition-controlled areas (Tal Brak, Tal Hamis, Al-Malikeyyeh, Al-Shaddadeh, Ras Al Ain, Tal Tamer, Al-Hol, Amouda and Derbasiyeh).
