Mobility Dynamic Monitoring Report - Ix with Updated Populations

NEEDS AND POPULATION MONITORING

SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC MOBILITY DYNAMIC MONITORING REPORT - IX WITH UPDATED POPULATIONS

JUNE 2016 Preface Needs and Population Monitoring (NPM) Mobility Dynamic Monitoring – June 2016 assessed 5,490 locations within 14 accessible governorates of Syria with 96% coverage1. This round involved 12 team leaders, 17 Data Process Assistants, 148 enumerators and 16,663 key informants (KIs). This exercise focused on the movement of the target population categories that occurred solely during the month of June 2016.

NPM Mobility Dynamic Monitoring Questionnaire (B3 Form – Annex III) is used for data collection. Data collection is based on direct observations in the field and the best estimates of the KIs at the community level (also referred to as village/neighborhood), who are expected to have a good knowledge of the communities they are living in.

NPM Mobility Dynamic Assessment includes eight major categories of targeted population (Annex I). The first category is related to the current resident population within Syria affected by shelter damage and who is forced to move to another shelter within the same location. The following two categories are the resident populations within Syria who are currently absent from their location of origin because they fled to another location (either within or out of Syria). The fourth category relates to returnees2 who had fled the location before but returned, and the last four categories refer to Syrian and non-Syrian internally displaced persons (IDPs) who arrived or left the location during the assessed period.

Catching mobility patterns in real time has proven a difficult exercise considering the extremely dynamic population movements within Syria. During this exercise, held in June 2016, NPM had a total coverage of 96%. In addition, during June, eight locations were assessed for the population baseline, having a total of 5,498 locations covered during June. NPM has 100% coverage in ten governorates and more than 95% in three governorates. Coverage remained lower however in Homs with 59% of the locations.

The data and figures reflected in the present report are the result of the NPM Mobility Dynamic Monitoring data collection across Syria carried out in June 2016. This data has to be considered as estimates and not as absolute numbers of the population residing in the assessed governorates. All data sets for the Mobility Dynamic Monitoring exercise are available to the interested humanitarian partners for further analysis. This report is issued in collaboration with UN-OCHA Turkey.

1NPM assessment of the communities is carried out by taking the list of communities on existing datasets (p-code), used by OCHA and humanitarian agencies in Syria. 2Definition of returnees is not related to the criteria of return in terms of safety and dignity, nor with any durable solutions defined strategy. 1 NPM - Mobility Dynamic Monitoring (June 2016) Coverage and Mobility As in previous rounds, this MDM report includes some qualitative background information collected by NPM enumerators in the field. The purpose of this is to provide some background to the mobility and displacement dynamics observed, as well as to give some details of the impact of this displacement on the governorates concerned. This is given at the start of each governorate profile. Also added is updated overall population figures and details of population trends over time, comparing different rounds of the MDM. This is given at the end of each governorate profile.

In this round, a total of 5,490 locations were assessed, with the chart below showing coverage per governorate.

KEY INFORMANTS

Data collection based on the best estimates of the KIs carries limitations of its own. Although a great majority of the KIs are people in key positions who are expected to have the best knowledge of the communities they are living in, they can only share their best estimates with the enumerators. Apart from this, some of the interviews were conducted remotely without direct observations in the locations, due to issues of access and security constraints and hence resorting again to best possible estimates.

Last but not least, it is important to note that NPM has no means of verification on the destination and exact figures submitted under the fled-out and not returned population categories (resident population that fled and not returned, IDPs that left and not returned), either if these fled out populations reached the destination or crossed the border. For that reason, population figures aresubject to an undefined margin of error since they are based on the best estimates of the KIs interviewed at the location of origin.

2 NPM - Mobility Dynamic Monitoring (June 2016)

NPM Mobility Dynamic Monitoring - June 2016 Summary of the Overall Displacement Situation during June, due to clashes between the Islamic State of Iraq and the The month of June saw a significant increase in the number of Levant (ISIL), opposition forces as well as Kurdish forces. As a result internally displaced persons (IDPs), people affected by shelter of the fighting in this area, Menbij had the highest numbers of IDP damage as well as those who fled within Syria. Even though the arrivals, IDPs leaving, as well as resident population fleeing within the cessation of hostilities agreement between the Government of Syria country. In comparison to the high displacement figures, the number (GoS) and opposition forces is still in force, many attacks took place of individuals returning to their pre-displacement locations continues during June, which caused displacement movements across the to decrease from 43,000 in May to 38,044 in June. This is now the country. Similar to the previous month, the governorates of Aleppo lowest number of returnees NPM has recorded since October 2015. and Idleb reported the highest numbers of IDPS, with 68,049 IDPs Furthermore, the number of people fleeing out of Syria also dropped for both governorates which is 68% of the overall IDP number from 14,241 in May to 11,622 individuals in June. The only recorded for the month. Especially, the sub-district of Menbij in population category that did not see much changes, is the IDPs that Aleppo, reported various population categories seeing mobility left their location during the month, which decreased from 43,970 in May to 43,607 individuals in June. Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) 1+ IDPs That Left Their Location June 2016 June 2016

100,486 individuals 43,607 individuals

June 2016 saw a high rise of IDPs across Syria, with more than twice The number of IDPs seeing secondary displacement during the as much people displaced in comparison to May. A total of month of June stood at 43,607 which is very similar to the May 100,486 persons were reportedly displaced from their locations figure of 43,970 individuals. Out of the total number, 47% of these solely during the month. Out of this total number, 46,379 IDPs fled locations in Aleppo. This was followed by Idleb, where individuals were displaced in Aleppo, which is 46% of the total 27% of the IDPs experienced further displacement. Also for this number. This figure alone is almost equivalent to the total IDP population category, the Menbij sub-district had the highest number recorded in May, which clearly shows the increase of number of IDPs leaving their location at sub-district level with displacement during June. Menbij in northwestern Aleppo had the 9,104 individuals. This number represents almost half of the total highest number of displaced population at sub-district level across number of IDPs leaving their locations in Aleppo. The sub-district of the country with 11,231 IDPs. The governorates of Idleb, Idleb had the second highest numbers of IDPs leaving, which was Damascus and Homs also reported significant numbers of IDPs. followed by the A’zaz sub-district located in Aleppo. 3 NPM - Mobility Dynamic Monitoring (June 2016)

NPM Mobility Dynamic Monitoring - June 2016 Based on its community level assessment held in Syria, the NPM Mobility Dynamic Monitoring estimates the following population movements that occurred solely during the month of June 2016.

Current Resident Population Affected by Shelter Damage June 2016 During the month of June, the number of current resident 14,652 individuals population affected by shelter damage almost tripled in comparison to the previous month. In May, the number reported for this population category stood at 5,743 individuals and in June the figure increased to 14,652 individuals. This is the highest figure recorded since March 2016. Out of this number, 62% of the affected population are in Aleppo, followed by Idleb with 14% and Homs with 9%. Again for this month, the sub-district of Jebel Saman in Aleppo was the sub-district with the highest number of population affected by shelter damage across the country. The number increased significantly from 1,854 individuals in May to 7,164 individuals in June. The main reasons for this increase are the continuous airstrikes and shelling by the GoS in this part of the country, particular in the city of Aleppo. In addition, the nearby sub- districts of Haritan and Menbij also reported high numbers of residents population affected by shelter damage. On the other hand, five governorates reported zero cases of population affected by shelter damage, namely Al-Hasakeh, As- Sweida, Lattakia, Quneitra and Tartous.

Returnees June 2016 The number of returnees continues to decrease and the 38,044 individuals figure for June is the lowest recorded by NPM since October 2015. This month, the number of returnees dropped from 43,000 individuals in May to 38,044 returnees in June. Once again, the governorate with the highest number of returnees was Hama with 14,566, which represents 38% of the total number of returnees reported during June. Out of this number, more than 9,000 individuals are returning from IDP camps located in Idleb. Most of these people are returning home, since the clashes between the GoS and the opposition have stopped. As a result, the sub-district of Ziyara located northwest of Hama, had the most number of returnees reported at sub-district level with 7,350 individuals. After Hama, Aleppo had the second highest number of returnees with 6,066 individuals, followed by Al -Hasakeh with 5,336 returnees. Seven governorates reported very low numbers of returnees. It is still unclear if people are returning home because it is again safer in their location of origin, or because they were facing other challenges in the new locations, such as security concerns and financial difficulties.

4 NPM - Mobility Dynamic Monitoring (June 2016)

NPM Mobility Dynamic Monitoring - June 2016

Based on its community level assessment held in Syria, the NPM Mobility Dynamic Monitoring estimates the following population movements that occurred solely during the month of June 2016.

Resident Population That Fled Within Syria June 2016 Similar to the number of IDPs recorded in June, the number of the 96,950 individuals resident population that fled to another location within Syria saw a significant increase in comparison to the previous month. In May,

37,895 individuals reportedly fled within Syrian, while in June the figure rose to 96,950 people, which is more than twice as in May. This is the highest number for this population category recorded since February 2016, changing the overall downward trend. Also for this population category, the governorate of Aleppo reported the highest number with 61,124 individuals fleeing to another location, which is 63% of the total for June. Out of this number, 83% of the people fled to another location within Aleppo, while the remaining mostly fled to Idleb and only a few to Lattakia and Dar’a. The sub-district of Menbij had the highest number of individuals for this population category recorded at sub-district level with 24,097 individuals. This was followed by the sub-district of Idleb with 11,036 people and Suran, located in Hama, with 8,200 individuals. The A’zaz and Haritan sub- districts, both near the city of Aleppo, also reported high numbers of resident population fleeing within Syria.

Resident Population That Fled Out of Syria June 2016 Contrary to the number of people fleeing within Syria, the number 11, 622 individuals of those fleeing out of the country dropped during June. After seeing a slight decrease during May, where 14,241 people reportedly left Syria, the number fall to 11,622 individuals during the month of June. This shows a fluctuation in this population category, as the trend frequently changes.

The governorate with the highest number of people fleeing out of Syria during June is Aleppo with 19% out of the total number. The main reason for this, is the continuous conflict in the governorate, affecting areas such as Menbij, A’zaz, Aleppo City, among others. Other governorates that recorded high numbers of people fleeing out of the country are Damascus with 17%, and Al -Hasakeh with 16% and Hama with 8%.

Out of those fleeing locations in Syria for other locations outside of the country, 44% or 5,057 individuals reportedly intended to travel to Turkey. After Turkey, Lebanon was the second most popular destination with 24% or 25,816 of the total individuals fleeing out of Syria. About 10% of the total number, or 1,176 individuals, fled to the Jordanian border.

5 NPM - Mobility Dynamic Monitoring (June 2016) Governorate Proﬁle: ALEPPO June-2016

During the month of June, some parts of Aleppo saw further displacement due to fighting. The sub-districts of Menjib and Abu Qalqal have been particularly affected by intense fighting and airstrikes against ISIL positions. As a result, residents and IDPs were displaced to nearby villages around Abu Qalqal. All bridges connecting Menjib sub-district to Jarablus and to Abu Qalqal were destroyed by airstrikes. ISIL forces reportedly prevented households from moving out of the sub-district. While IDPs from eastern parts of Aleppo governorate are prevented from entering A’zaz sub- district by armed groups.

In some villages when clashes broke out, the resident population left their homes to open areas and fields. They stayed in their cars until the fighting ended, which in some cases took more than one day. Overall, the number of resident population affected by shelter damage rose to 9,138 individuals, which is four times higher than the figure reported in May. Over 70% of this population category is now living in abandoned buildings, followed by 17% living with host families, 8% in their own houses and 1% in rented accomodations. It was also reported that the governorate has a lack of medical staff and medicines, and hence the hospital capacities are limited.

On the other hand, the returnee ﬁgure dropped from 10,811 returnees in May to 6,066 rertunees in June. The majority of the returnees, namely 83%, returned from another location within Aleppo, whereas 17% came back from other parts of the country. 92% of the returnees are staying in their own houses, while almost 5% are living in abandoned buildings.

The number of IDPs increased signiﬁcantly to 46,379 in June, which is three times more than during May. Out of this number, 95% of the IDPs are from locations in Aleppo, while the remaining 5% come from other governorates such as Ar-Raqqa and Idleb. Half of the IDP population is currently living with host families, 13% are in abandonded buildings, 10% are in self settled camps, another 10% are in rented accomodations, and the remaing are either in formal or informal collective shelters or in organized camps.

Clashes between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), an alliance of Kurdish forces, and ISIL in the south of Shadadeh and northern Markadeh occurred during the month of June. Furthermore, many explosions took place in the south of Al- Hasakeh. The Self Administration managed by the Kurdish forces repotedly imposed taxes on owners of harvesters, which has severely aﬀected the livelihood of people and especially of farmers. The health situation is also deteriorating as there is a general shortage of medical materials and equipment. 200 houses in the villages of southern Shadadeh such as Jalal, Al-Barakeh, and also villages of eastern Al-Olwah are now controlled by the SDF. Because of the conﬂict between SDF and ISIL, residents of these houses were reportedly displaced from their homes two months ago since they were afraid that they may be accused of belonging to ISIL.

The Simalka humanitarian corridor in Iraq was re-opened by the Iraqi Kurdistan Region Government, after being blocked for a long time, in order to assist people inside Syria. There are also some movements of Iraqi refugees into the governorate, particularly to Tal Hamis and Al-Yaroubiyah through the Al-Houl route, as there is a refugee camp for Iraqis in the town of Al-Houl near the Iraqi border, where currently 3,500 refugees are hosted.

Since March 2016, no resident population affected by shelter damage has been reported in Al-Hasakeh. Overall, the total number of people affected by shelter damage since the beginning of the crisis remains low at 1,642 individuals in comparison to the number in other governorates. As for the number of returnees, the figure slightly decreased from 5,763 returnees in May to 5,336 in June. Over 98% of the returnees are returning from locations within Al-Hasakeh, and 100% out of the total number are now staying in their own houses. The number of IDPs increased in June where 2,717 IDPs were reported. Out of this number 65% of the IDPs are coming from other parts of the country, whereas 35% are from Al-Hasakeh. 47% of the IDPs are renting an accomodation, 39% are staying with host families, another 39% are in organized camps, and the remaining 4% are either in formal collective centres or in abandoned buildings.

At the beginning of the month of June, the GoS forces supported by the coalition forces launched a military operations to take control of the Al-Thwara city in the western rural part of Ar-Raqqa governorate. The GoS forces managed to take control of many villages in the south of Al-Thawra city such as Bir Inbaj, Al Houra and bir Hadleh. Clashes between the GoS forces and ISIL continued until the 20th June, when ISIL regained control of all the regions which were previously under the GoS, and hence forced the GoS to retreat from the area to 80 kilometers towards the south of Al-Thawra. The governorate of Ar-Raqqa has six private hospitals that provide most of the medical services in addition to 12 dispensaries (four of which are in Ar-Raqqa city) that provide simple medical services and examinations for women and children. During June, many deaths were reported because of the deteriorated medical care services and the lack of medicines, especially to treat blood diseases. The prices of many essential medicines have dramatically increased, such as the price of insulin which costs 4,000 Syrian Pounds for one bottle which can last up to one month. Many displacement movements happened in the governorate during the month. First, displacement movements from the city of Ar-Raqqa to the center of the governorate and Tal Abyad occurred during June, because of the GoS shelling. Moreover, displacement from Al-Thawra to Al-Jarniyeh took place because of the clashes between ISIL and the GoS forces. Furthermore, IDPs from the sub-district of Menbij in Aleppo arrived in Ar-Raqqa center because of the clashes between the Kurdish forces and ISIL. Displacement to Turkey from Tal Abyad also took place due to reported forced recruitment imposed by the Popular Protection units. Lastly, displacement to Lebanon occurred considering the closure of the Turkish border and since it was reported that many civilians were killed trying to cross the border irregularly. As a result, many households travelled to Damascus, to Al-Qamishly and to Lebanon to seek for job opportunities and better living conditions. Overall, a total of 3,629 IDPs were reported during June. 80% of the IDPs were displaced from other locations within Ar-Raqqa, while 20% came from other governorates. The number of returnees also increased from 169 returnees in May to 434 in June. Almost 99% of these are now staying in their own houses.

During the month of June, a few shelling incidents were reported, which could be a result of the cessation of hostility agreement. It has brought some respite in some neighborhoods such as Jobar. Nevertheless, two explosions took place on 11th of June in the Sayeda Zeiynab neighbourhood, which reportedly led to the death of 13 people and left 30 with middle injuries. During this month, the GoS announced an increase of fuel price, as well as salary increases for military oﬃcials and retirees, which entered into eﬀect in June.

The number of resident population affected by shelter damage rose in comparison to the previous month. During June, 310 individuals were reported under this category. Out of this total number, 75% of the affected population are staying in rented accomodations, whereas 25% are still in their own houses, even though these were affected by the conflict.

The number of returnees only increased slightly from 335 returnees in May to 400 in June. 26% of the total returnees came back from another location within Damascus, while 74% moved back from another governorate. Almost 15% are living in abandoned buildings, 11% are paying for an accomodation and the remaining 4% are with host families.

Also movements within the city happened because people were looking for cheaper places to live. The number of IDPs signiﬁcantly increased from 1,300 IDPs in May to 6,619 in June. The majority of these IDPs are coming from other governorates, such as from Rural Damascus, followed by Aleppo and Deir-ez-Zor. Over 60% of the IDPs are currently staying in renting accomodations, another 34% are living with host families, followed by 2% in informal collective centre, 1% in abandonded buildings and the remaining IDPs are in formal collective centres.

In the governorate of Dar’a, the Al-Shajara sub-district has seen continuous clashes between the FSA and ISIL. In addition, the Jordanian Govern- ment declared the border to be a closed military zone, and access to the Berm is under discussion.

During the holy month of Ramadan, some food item prices increased, however most of the prices are stable in comparison to the prices in May. All commodities were available except for flour. Consequently, the most important need reported is to provide the bakeries with flour to make bread as the stocks of flour at the local councils are almost finished and flour from Jordan is no longer available since the car bomb explosion at the Ruqban camp happened. Moreover, many agricultural wells and dams dried out in the governorate by the beginning of summer. Also, the spring of Zeiyzoun has dried out, which was the main source of water for more than 10,000 people in the Zeiyzoun area and camp.

During June, the number of resident population aﬀected by shelter damage slightly dropped from 203 individuals in May to 185 in June. Due to the damage to their shelters, almost 60% of this population category are currently staying in abandoned buildings, whereas 35% are with host families, and the remaining 5% are in formal collective centres or still in their own houses. The number of returnees remained very similar to the ﬁgure recorded in May, with a total of 2,437 returnees reported in June. The majority of the returnees, namely 77%, returned to live in their own houses, while 22% are in abandoned buildings.

Some areas in northern Dar’a such as Akraba, Al-Mahal and Kafr Shams have seen displacement movements because of the GoS bombing. The destination of the displaced population was to Jasem and Al-Hara. The number of IDPs dropped by more than half from 3,769 IDPs in May to 1,288 in June. Almost all IDPs (97%) were displaced within Dar’a, and only 3% were displaced from locations in As-Sweida and Rural Damascus.

15 Governorate Proﬁle: DEIR-EZ-ZOR June-2016

During the month of June, both the GoS and coalition forces reportedly conducted daily (or regular) shelling against ISIL positions. Death of civilians were reported in Al-Bouleil, Al Ashara and Al Kouriyah. ISIL continue to restrict movements of civilians within or from their areas of control in Deir-ez-Zor.

In the besieged neighborhoods such as Al Thawra-Al Jourah, Al Muhajereen and Qosour the situation remains the same as the last months, where civilians continue to be targeted by shelling launched by ISIL forces. Many civilians who ﬂed from the ISIL controlled areas are now staying in Al-Mabrukah Camp. These people intended to take the Damascus - Deir-ez-Zor route, however they failed to do so, since the road has been blocked. As a result, they had no other choice but to take the Al-Hasakeh route, where they were reportedly arrested by the Kurdish Democratic Union. Since then, they were kept in Athe l-Mabrukah Camp that lacks all humanitarian standards, such as appropriate WASH facilities.

As for the population categories having mobility, the number of resident population aﬀected by shelter damage increased from 353 people in May to 514 in June. Most of these invidivudals left their homes and currently 71% are staying with host families, while 18% remain in their own homes even though these may be damaged or destroyed. The remaning 11% are either in self settled camps or renting an accomodation. The number of returnees continues to drop since April reaching the lowest recorded ﬁgure for the last six months with 143 returnees. It was reported that only 24% of the returnees are returning from locations within Deir-er-Zor, while 76% are returning from other governorates. Half of the returnees are back in their own homes, whereas the other half are renting an accomodation back in their communities. The number of IDPs in Deir-ez-Zor also decreased during June with 1,385 IDPs reported. Out of this number, 40% of the IDPs were displaced from location within the governorate and 60% from other governorates, mostly from Ar-Raqqa, Al-Hasakeh and Homs. Half of the IDP population are staying with host families, 37% are in rented accomodations, 6% are in informal collective centres, and 4% are in abandonded buildings.

17 Governorate Proﬁle: HAMA June-2016

The Government of Syria controls the city of Hama and parts of the southern, western and eastern rural parts of the governorate. On the other hand, ISIL controls the sub-districts of Akirbat and Barri, which are continuously under shelling.

The Ibn Sina Hospital in the eastern rural of Hama located in the Ibn Wardan region was targeted by a missile, which landed 500 meters away from the hospital. ISIL controlled areas in Akirbat region are suﬀering from a poor healthcare situation, since no medical care services are available. Spread of leishmaniasis in the western and northern rural villages such as in Azzakah and Latamneh as been reported.s

In the GoS controlled areas, an economic recovery was noted during June, in particularly in Salhab and Misyaf since government aﬃliated groups were able to beneﬁt from employment oppurtunities. Nevertheless, it was reported that the governorate of Hama saw a general price increase with the beginning of Ramadan,which is a phenomenon reported across the country.

The number of resident population aﬀected by shelter damage increased during June from 66 individuals reported in May to 204 for this month. Due to the damage to their homes, 100% of the resident population are currently staying with host families. The number of returnees continues to rise, reaching the highest ﬁgure recorded in the last six months with 14,566 returnees. 32% of the returnees came back from locations within Hama, whereas 68% returned from locations in other governorates. More than 97% of all returnees are staying in their own houses, and the remaining are either with host families or living in self settled camps. As for the IDPs in Hama, this number also increases by more than twice in comparison to May with 962 IDPs reported in June. Out of this number, 97% were displaced within Hama, and 3% were displaced from Homs and Aleppo. Half of the IDP population are staying with host families, while another 47% are renting an accomodation. The remaining are currently living in abandoned buildings or in self settled camps.

Aﬀected_People Returnees IDPs 19 Governorate Proﬁle: HOMS June-2016

The governorate of Homs continues to witness military escalation particularly in the northern rural part and Al-Houleh. The GoS agreed to open the northern rural corridor between the GoS controlled areas and the opposition areas, which is called “Addar Al Kabira” and which is connected to the centre of the city of Homs. However, movement restrictions continued to be reported, with widely spread security checks, and cases of force recruitment reported.

The Al-Wa’er neighbourhood is under the FSA control and has been besieged for four months. As a result, some people have moved out of Al-Wa’er to the neighbouring governorates, some have also left to the rural side of Homs. Also outside of the besieged area, people continue to face diﬃcult living conditions, mostly due to the continuous price increase, and the high unemployment rate.

The health situation continues to deteriorate in the northern rural parts of Homs and in Al-Hawleh because the prices of medicines have increased. The main reason for this is the imposed controls by the GoS, which are hindering medicines to arrive in these areas. A lack of medical points in the eastern rural part of Homs was reported. In the city of Homs, medical services, medicines and vaccinations are available in the pharmacies and dispensaries. Vaccinations for children are also available in the medical centres, but these centres are overcrowded, and stocks of medicines insuﬃcient to cover the needs. As a result of a deteriorating situation in the governorate but also in the country, the mobility dynamics in Homs have changed. The number of returnees dropped more than four time from 3,618 returnees in May to 790 in June. On the other hand, the number of IDPs increased by more than twice from 2,424 IDPs in May to 6,152 in June. Only 20% of the IDPs were displaced from locations in Homs, while 80% were displaced from other governorates such as Hama, Aleppo and Dar’a. Most of the IDPs, namely 63% are currently staying with host families, whereas 23% are renting an accomodation, followed by 10% living in abandoned buildings, and the remaining are either in their own houses, in informal collective centres or in self settled camps.

21 Governorate Proﬁle: IDLEB June-2016

The city of Idleb was targeted by airstrikes and as a result many residents had to ﬂee to the ﬁelds and to nearby locations within the governorate. Airstrikes also targeted other rural areas such as Jisr Ash’shugour, Sarakeb and Al-Bara and it was reported that cluster bombs and chemical weapons were used in these attacks.

In regards to the health situation in Idleb, the polio, measles and hepatitis campaign that started a few months ago has been completed in the entire governorate. It was reported that the National hospital in Maaret Al-Noman was partially damaged as a huge explosion took place next to it. Severe medical cases have been transferred to Turkey. During June, the price of many products increased in particular for rice, butter, oil, bulgur, fruit and vegetables. Diesel is available however with an unstable price. Drinking water is again available in Idleb city after electricity is also back since maintenance operations took place in June to ﬁx the failure of the main water network. Lack of water remains an issue in Idleb, with a majority of people mainly depending on water trucking.

The number of resident population affected by shelter damage increased more than five times in comparison to the figure recorded in May. In June, 2,004 individuals were affected by shelter damage and hence 74% of these persons are now staying with host families. The number of returnees also rose in June with 4,257 returnees reported. More than 90% of the returnees are returning from locations within Idleb itself, while 9% are coming back from other governorates. The majority of the returnees moved back to their own home, whereas some are staying in abandoned buildings, with host families or renting an accomodation. Several displacements within the governorate took place, and the current total number of IDPs in Idleb in June stood at 21,670. The main causes of displacement are the deteriorated security situation and shelling. This is the reason why the number of IDPs increased by almost twice between May and June. Over 70% of the IDPs were displaced within locations in Idleb, while 29% of the IDPs came from various governorates such as Aleppo, Ar-Raqqa, Deir-ez0Zor, Lattakia, Homs, among others.

23 Governorate Proﬁle: LATTAKIA June-2016

The Government of Syria forces and aﬃliated groups are still controlling the governorate of Lattakia except for some villages in the northern rural parts, which are under the control of the opposition. These opposition controlled areas have witness non-stop clashes between diﬀerent forces for more than a year.

During the month of June, the health needs continue to be well covered by the Directorate of Health (MoH) in Lattakia. On the other hand, in the northern rural parts of Lattakia, mobile clinics and mobile medical camps continue to operate for ﬁrst aid services.

Currently there is a rolling blackout with only two hours of power available every 5-6 hours.

As in the last six months, zero resident population aﬀected by shelter damage was reported during June. The number of returnees also remains to be zero for the past half year.

On the other the hand, the number of IDPs significantly increased during June, where 1,400 IDPs were reported. This figure is ten times higher as the one recorded in May. 100% of the IDPs were displaced from other governorates, with the more than half of the IDPs coming from Aleppo, followed by Idleb, Homs and Hama. All of the IDPs are currently staying in a rented accomodation in Lattakia. For the IDPs that left their location within June, the majority was displaced to another location within Lattakia in order to seek for cheaper rental houses. It was also reported that 15 individuals from the resident population fled out of Syria to Turkey.

25 Governorate Proﬁle: QUNEITRA June-2016

Clashes have been reported between the GoS and the opposition forces in locations close to eastern and western parts of Assamdaniyeh. The FSA shelled some locations in Al-Baath city under the control of the GoS, who then responded by artillery shelling and airstrikes in locations such as Kasibeh and Msahara leading to the destruction of civilian houses.

Since electricity from the Public network is not available, people are using generators and solar systems. Drinking water is also not available in the majority of the communities, and therefore people depend on well water. Residents continue to ask the local councils to dig more wells and maintain the water network in order to address the lack of water. Especially, IDPs in the new camp of Tal Akashah are suﬀering from lack of water and sanitary facilities as well as a lack of tents. The location of this camp is too far from the residential areas and markets, which makes the living conditions for these IDPs challenging.

For the past six months, Quneitra continues to record zero individuals aﬀected by shelter damage. On the other hand, the number of returnees increased to 80 individuals, which has been the highest number sinch March 2016. All of the returnees are coming back from locations within Quneitra. Also, all of the returnees moved back to their own homes in the governorate.

The number of displaced persons also rose during June reaching a total of 369 IDPs. Out of this total number, 85% were displaced from locations in Quneitra, whereas 15% were displaced from Rural Damascus and Dar’a. The majority of the IDPs, namely 86% are staying in self settled camps, followed by 11% living in rented accomodations and 3% staying with host families.

It was reported that 105 individuals from Quneitra ﬂed their locations but remain in Syria, while 54 individuals ﬂed out of the country.

27 Governorate Proﬁle: RURAL DAMASCUS June-2016

The military operations by the GoS continued in eastern and western Ghouta leading to deterioration of living conditions and more displacement incidents. The GoS is targeting the agricultural parts of the governorate, which has led to a total destruction of the wheat harvest. A number of UN convoys reportedly entered some of the besieged areas in Rural Damascus, carrying food items and hygiene kits in addition to medicines.

More than 260 cases of food poisoning were reported in the town of Sheifouniyeh, after people ate spoiled cooked meals, as a result of the hot weather. A few days later, the same incident occurred in the town of Hosh Nasr, where more than 1,000 food poisoning cases were reported. All the aﬀected people were treated in the medical oﬃces and no death casualties were reported. In addition, due to summer season and hot temperatures, there is a spread of many diseases such as Typhus, Malta and Yellow fever. Lack of medicines in these areas leads to many cases of limbs amputation and increased numbers of casualties. In addition, drinking water in the besieged areas is not available as water networks went out of service after being targeted by bombing. Also, the economic situation in the besieged areas is poor because of the lack of job opportunities, and since the general price of all commodities continues to increase.

A total of 851 residents reported that their shelters were aﬀected during the month of June. This is the lowest number recorded for this population category in the past six months. Out of this number, 72% are currently living in rented accomodations, followed by 15% living in abandoned buildings, 9% are staying with host families and 4% are in their own homes. The number of returnees slightly increased in comparison to May, with 3,484 returnees reported in the governorate. 68% of these are returning from locations in Rural Damascus, whereas 32% are coming back from other governorates. Most of the returnees are back in their own homes. The number of IDPs remained similar to the May ﬁgure with 5,343 IDPs recorded in June. The majority of the IDPs, namely 89% were displaced within Rural Damascus, while 11% were displaced from Aleppo and Damascus.

Aﬀected_People Returnees IDPs 29 Governorate Proﬁle: AS-SWEIDA June-2016

During the month of June, no changes were reported in terms of parties in control in the governorate. The majority of As-Sweida remains under the control of the GoS forces and some aﬃliated armed groups. Only three locations are under the control of ISIL, namely Hosh Hamad, Al Qasr, and Northern Ashhib. The location of Barad, that is also hosting a GoS military center, was targeted by artillery shelling by the FSA from Dar’a. Services and civil administration are still managed by the GoS by means of the governmental institutions and the municipality that are working normally.

Prices were stable during June in comparison to the prices in May, which had seen a price increase because of the US dollar exchange rate against the Syrian Pound. It was reported that the governorate has a lack of water since many wells started to dry up because of the high temperatures. Therefore, there is a need to dig more well.

The number of those being aﬀected by shelter damage dropped from 36 individuals in May to zero individuals in June. Also the number of returnees decreased in comparison to the May ﬁgure, with 51 returnees recorded. All of these returned from locations in other governorates and even from outside the country with 33 individuals or 65% reporting to have been out of Syria. Out of the total number, 100% of the returnees moved back to their own homes.

The number of IDPs also dropped during June, with 1,343 displaced individuals recorded for this month. All of these IDPs were displaced from other governorates, with the majority coming from Homs, followed by Dar’a, Aleppo, Damascus, Rural Damascus and Idleb. More than 65% of the IDPs are now staying in rented accomodations, whereas 16% are in informal collective centres, 8% are living with host families, followed by 6% living in their own houses and 4% in abandoned buildings.

Aﬀected_People Returnees IDPs 31 Governorate Proﬁle: TARTOUS June-2016

As reported during previous months, Tartous city continues to remain relatively calm and safe, in comparison to other cities and governorates inside Syria. Tartous governorate continues to be fully controlled by GoS, and remains relatively far away from conﬂict lines. The most signiﬁcant incident reported in June was a bomb attack at the bus terminal station. A similar event had been reported in May. As a consequence, 200 IDP families hosted in Tartous city have been reportedly forced to move from Tartous city by militias. The majority of these families moved to Banyas. In addition, IDPs report deterioration of their living conditions in the governorate, due to lack of job opportunities and increase of rental prices. As a result, similar to the main needs reported during May, people and IDPs in Tartous need cash money in order to pay for an accommodation and buy their basic needs.

The health and medical situation is good in the governorate of Tartous and no problems were reported during the month of June. On the other hand, the population is suﬀering from power failure where the rolling blackout continues with seven hours of available power per day.

For the population categories seeing mobility, similar to the past six months, zero resident population aﬀected by shelter damage and zero returnees were reported during June. However, the number of IDPs rose in comparison to the ﬁgure recoded in May, with 1,230 IDPs reported in Tartous.

All of the displaced individuals were displaced from other governorates, mostly from Aleppo, followed by Homs and Idleb. The majority of the IDPs, almost 99%, are currently renting an accomodation in Tartous, while the remaining 1% is staying in informal collective centres. It was also reported that 24 individuals fled out of the country, with one third fleeing to Turkey and the rest fleeing to Lebanon.

The bar chart above compares the population categories from January to June 2016. The chart is divided into six population categories which were covered during the mobility dynamic assessment, namely: resident population affected by shelter damage, returnees, IDPs, resident population fled within Syria, resident population fled out of Syria and IDPs that left their locations.

In June, many population categories saw an increase in mobility. The main reason for this, is the continuous conflict in Aleppo, which displaced thousands of people and affected the resident population.

The numbers of those seeing damage to their shelters requiring that they relocate but not seeing displacement to other locations rose from 5,678 individuals in May to 14,652 in June. This is more than twice as much as in the previous month and the highest number for this population category since February 2016.

On the other hand, the number of returnees continuous to drop from 43,000 returnees in May to 38,044 in June. Once again, this is the lowest figure for this population category that NPM has recorded in the last six months.

The numbers of the resident population fleeing to another location inside Syria significantly increased during June. This month, the figure stood at 96,950 people. This increase puts an end to the previous recorded downward trend of this category.

The number of internally displaced persons that left their locations during June went up from 43,970 in May to 100,486 IDPs. This is the highest number recorded since March 2016, and it also changed the downward trend of IDPs.

The only population category that did not see many changes is the number of IDPs that left to another location. This figures only decreased slightly from 43,970 to 43,607 IDPs facing secondary displacement in the month of June.
