    THE PUBLIC MONETARY AUTHORITY IN NORTHWEST SYRIA Flash report 10 July 2020 KEY DEVELOPMENTS The Public Monetary Authority (PMA) is a rebranding of the Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS)'s General Institution for Cash Management and Customer Protection (CMCP) which was established in May 2017. The PMA imposed a mandatory registration on currency exchange and hawala companies and classified them into three main categories depending on the size of their financial capital. The PMA has the right to supervise, monitor, and inspect monetary transactions, data, records and documents of licensed companies to ensure compliance with the PMA’s regulations, during the validity period of the license, or even if the license was terminated or revoked. Licensed companies must provide the PMA with a monthly report detailing incoming and outcoming financial remittances and must maintain financial liquidity ranging from 25% to 50% of the company's financial value in US dollars at the PMA custody at all times. Financial transfers made in Turkish lira will include the Syrian Salvation Government (SSG), as the currency will be brought in from the SSG's Sham Bank. This is not the case of financial transfers made in other currencies including the US dollar. The intervention of the PMA in hawala networks has profound implications for humanitarian organizations operating in northwestern Syria, however hawala agents, particularly in medium to large agencies, can reject the PMA's monitoring and control requirements.

    QRCS Delivers Medical Aid to Hospitals in Aleppo, Idlib May 3rd, 2016 ― Doha: Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) is proceeding with its support of the medical sector in Syria, by providing medications, medical equipment, and fuel to help health facilities absorb the increasing numbers of injuries, amid deteriorating health conditions country­wide due to the conflict. Lately, QRCS personnel in Syria procured 30,960 liters of fuel to operate power generators at the surgical hospital in Aqrabat, Idlib countryside. These $17,956 supplies will serve the town's 100,000 population and 70,000 internally displaced people (IDPs). In coordination with the Health Directorate in Idlib, QRCS is operating and supporting the hospital with fuel, medications, medical consumables, and operational costs. Working with a capacity of 60 beds and four operating rooms, the hospital is specialized in orthopedics and reconstructive procedures, in addition to general medicine and dermatology clinics. In western Aleppo countryside, QRCS personnel delivered medical consumables and serums worth $2,365 to the health center of Kafarnaha, to help reduce the pressure on the center's resources, as it is located near to the clash frontlines. Earlier, a needs assessment was done to identify the workload and shortfalls, and accordingly, the needed types of supplies were provided to serve around 1,500 patients from the local community and IDPs. In relation to its $200,000 immediate relief intervention launched last week, QRCS is providing medical supplies, fuel, and food aid; operating Al­Sakhour health center for 100,000 beneficiaries in Aleppo City, at a cost of $185,000; securing strategic medical stock for the Health Directorate; providing the municipal council with six water tankers to deliver drinking water to 350,000 inhabitants at a cost of $250,000; arranging for more five tankers at a cost of $500,000; providing 1,850 medical kits, 28,000 liters of fuel, and water purification pills; and supplying $80,000 worth of food aid.

The majority of humanitarian assistance both in Syria and worldwide is provided as in-kind aid. However, over the past decade a transi- tion has occurred and cash-based approaches, including both conditional and unconditional cash-transfers and voucher programs, are becoming increasingly common. The cash-based response within Syria to date is small when compared to in-kind assistance and geographic coverage has been somewhat limited . In light of the significant challenges to providing assistance in Syria, there is a need to shift the program- ming focus towards sourcing assistance from within Syria rather than importing in-kind assistance; inter- ventions to support job creation, rehabilitation of industry and local markets; and empowering beneficiaries by responding to their feedback on which type of assistance is preferred .

  • A Brief Report on the Attack on Qah Camp North of Idlib
    ﻣﺮﻛــــﺰ ﺗﻮﺛﻴـــــﻖ اﻻﻧﺘﻬﺎﻛـــــــﺎت ﻓﻲ ﺳﻮرﻳـــﺎ Violations Documentation Center in Syria A brief report on the attack on Qah camp north of Idlib Displaced people fleeing military operations are killed by Syrian government missiles November 2019 Summary The Violations Documentation Centre in Syria (hereinafter referred to as the VDC) presents and details in this report the attack which was carried out by Syrian government forces and its affiliated militias on camp that shelters thousands of displaced people on 20 November 2019. The attack also targeted a hospital near the Syrian-Turkish border, to the north of Idlib governorate. The VDC underlines that the strike contained in this report is a ‘premeditated murder against a specific group and unarmed civilian population,” which is a war crime. Since Syrian government forces systematically target civilians and civilian objects, this strike also is tantamount to a crime against humanity according to the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute. Also, the use of cluster munitions by government forces violates the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use of Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed to Be Excessively Injurious or to Be Indiscriminate, and the United Nations General Assembly resolution prohibiting the use of cluster munitions. 2 Introduction Coinciding with the World Children’s Day, which falls on November the 20th, Syrian government forces launched a rocket attack, targeting a camp which accommodates displaced civilians at the border with Turkey, to the north of Idlib governorate, as well as a Obstetric Gynaecologic Hospital. Internationally banned cluster bombs were used during the attack, which indicates the intent of forces behind them to inflict the greatest number of casualties among the residents of the camps, whose residents are mainly woman and children.
