  • Syria Crisis—East Ghouta
    OCHA Flash Update Syria Crisis – East Ghouta No. 2 17 March 2018 Highlights ● Insecurity and fierce hostilities continue to endanger people in east Ghouta raising serious concerns for the protection of civilians in the area. Between 15 and 16 March, aerial bombardment on Kafr Batna, Saqba, Zamalka, Arbin and Hezzeh reportedly resulted in scores of civilian deaths and injuries. ● Since 11 March, at least 20,000 people reportedly left east Ghouta. The majority of those leaving are from the Hamouriyeh area. Those who left include at least 51 medical evacuations being treated in hospitals. ● Most of the people interviewed at the Dweir shelter had some health conditions (intestinal infections, hepatitis, skin disease, trauma) likely due to years of lack of access to medicine and health care. ● UN teams have been visiting the three collective shelters (Dweir, Adra and Herjelleh) in Rural Damascus where people who have left East Ghouta are staying. ● The UN has delivered emergency items such as food and nutrition items, NFIs, shelter, medical supplies and is supporting health and nutrition, WASH, education, protection and children protection services. ● SARC responded to the unexpected large number of arrivals and the UN is supporting with additional supplies as requested by SARC. Many supplies have already been delivered and distributed at the shelters, although more is needed given the scale of displacement. ● On 15 March, a UN/SARC/ICRC convoy delivered food assistance for 26,100 people in need in Duma. However, far more humanitarian assistance is needed in terms of other sectoral assistance and to other areas of the enclave.

The United Nations verified the killing of 652 children and the maiming of 647 during 2016. “The continued level of violations against children in the Syrian Arab Republic remains highly alarming and I urge all parties to engage in the inclusive and Syrian led peace process under United Nations auspices aimed at ending conflict”, the Secretary-General said. http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=A/72/361&referer=/english/&Lang =E http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=58001 13 million people in Syria in need of humanitarian aid, warns UN Relief Chief Briefing the Security Council on the humanitarian situation in Syria on 30 October, Emergency Relief Coordinator Mark Lowcock said that more than 13 million people remain in need of humanitarian assistance.

  • Allocation Strategy Syria Humanitarian Fund 2019 1St Standard Allocation
    Allocation Strategy Syria Humanitarian Fund 2019 1st Standard Allocation I. Allocation Overview Project Proposal Deadline: 15 September 2019 23:59, Damascus Time A) Introduction / Humanitarian situation 1. The Syria Humanitarian Fund (SHF) is a Country-Based Pooled Fund (CBPF) managed by the Humanitarian Financing Unit (HFU) of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) based in Damascus. Established in 2014, under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator a.i. for Syria, its role is to support life-saving, protection, and life-sustaining activities by filling critical funding gaps; promote the needs-based delivery of assistance in accordance with humanitarian principles; improve the relevance and coherence of humanitarian response by strategically funding priorities as identified in the HRP; and expand the rapid delivery of assistance to underserved, high severity and hard-to-reach areas by partnering with the best placed actors.1 2. On 20 June, the SHF Advisory Board agreed to allocate US $25 million under the First Standard Allocation to support life-saving activities and service delivery in underserved areas of southern Syria – specifically, Dar’a, Quneitra and Rural Damascus (with a focus on eastern Ghouta) – where severe humanitarian needs persist. The decision came following a detailed prioritization exercise undertaken by the Inter Sector Coordination (ISC) group in Syria which involved a multi-factor analysis of levels of need (with an emphasis on highest severity need areas); accessibility (both in terms of newly-accessible and access-restricted locations); population movement (focusing on those locations where there is a high concentration of both IDPs and returnees); presence and functionality of basic services (including health and education facilities), and coverage (in terms of people reached).

This summary provides an update on the activities of the OPCW Fact-Finding Mission in Syria (FFM) since the Eighty-Eighth Session of the Executive Council. 2. The FFM has deployed in order to gather relevant facts. All deployments and movements of the FFM took place with all necessary authorisations, including from the United Nations Department of Safety and Security. 3. The FFM received Note Verbale No. 88 (dated 20 September 2017) from the Syrian Arab Republic, referring to an allegation of use of an unknown toxic gas in Qalib al-Thawr, Al-Salimayah on 9 August 2017. The Syrian Arab Republic also addressed to the FFM Notes Verbales No. 103 (dated 26 October 2017), No. 116 (dated 10 November 2017), and No. 128 (dated 4 December 2017), requesting the OPCW to investigate two incidents that occurred in Khirbat Masasinah, Hama Governorate on 7 July and 4 August 2017. Furthermore, Note Verbale No. 127 (dated 24 November 2017) refers to an incident in Al-Balil, Souran, Hama Governorate on 8 November 2017. 4. After reviewing the information gathered by the FFM and provided by the authorities of the Syrian Arab Republic in regard to the incidents mentioned in paragraph 3 above, the FFM deployed in December 2017. Subsequently, the FFM identified a number of issues requiring clarification. This formed the basis for the FFM’s deployment in September 2018, during which the FFM discussed certain issues with the Syrian Arab Republic and received clarifications through various documents, as well as written explanations from the Syrian authorities.
