Situation Overview Key Figures Turkey | Syria: Humanitarian Dashboard - Cross Border Response Jan-Mar 2016 (Issued on 04 May 2016) SITUATION OVERVIEW Conflict between non-state armed opposition groups (NSAOGs), the Islamic State and Government of Syria continued during most of the first quarter of 2016, resulting in various impediments to humanitarian programming across Syria. Most notably, in the months of January and February, GoS and allies intensified attacks on civilian infrastructure, including medical facilities, schools, IDP camps, bakeries and humanitarian warehouses, stymieing humanitarian access to many vulnerable communities across Syria. This in attacks resulted in even more communities being displaced from the Northern Aleppo countryside and elsewhere in Northern Latakia. By the end of February, a ‘cessation of hostilities’ agreement brokered by the US and Russia came into effect, resulting in significant reduction in hostilities between NSAOGs and the GoS across most of Syria, allowing more access to displaced communities for many humanitarian agencies in Aleppo, Idleb, Latakia and Hama. Despite a reduction in violence, isolated incidents have continued in key areas around access routes into Aleppo City between Kurdish forces and NSAOGs, leading to intermittent impediments along the Castello Road supply route. In eastern Syria, air strikes continued to impact civilian infrastructure under ISIL control, resulting in further degradation of hospitals, as well as vital electricity and water networks in Raqqa and Aleppo governorates. Under UNSC resolution 2165/2258, UN and its partners sent 41 consignments from Turkey (16 from Bab al-Salam - BAS, 25 from Bab al-Hawa- BAH) to the Syrian Arab Republic consisting of 1,341 trucks. 1,130 of these trucks used the BAH border crossing while the remaining 211 crossed from BAS border crossing. During this period, a number of UN shipments were suspended from BAS border crossing on UNDSS advice, while other regular humanitarian and commercial shipments continued. Shipped assistance included Health supplies for 3,572,157 people (including vaccine for 2.7 million people); food aid for about 2,621,175 people; NFI and Shelter items for 327,157 people; and WASH supplies for over 147,039 people; and Education materials for 25,750 people in 4 Governorates. The highest number of beneficiaries reached are in Idleb and Aleppo. Kobane border crossing remained closed for humanitarian staff crossing and shipments since early February 2016. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................continued on Page 2.

  • Ar-Raqqa (Household Surveys) August 2018
    Syria Shelter and NFI Assessment: Ar-Raqqa (Household Surveys) August 2018 CONTEXT AND METHODOLOGY Map 1: Sub-districts assessed Since the conflict in Ar-Raqqa city ended in October 2017, access to the city and the governorate has increased, however, remains challenging due to the prevalence of unexploded ordnance.1 The removal of contaminated soil in Ar-Raqqa governorate started in June 2018, but significant challenges persist. Displacement in the governorate is likely to be protracted as individuals return to their community origin, regardless of the security challenges. To provide up-to-date information on shelter conditions and NFI availability and affordability across northern Syria, REACH conducted an assessment on behalf of the Shelter and NFI Cluster and in partnerships with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Findings presented in this factsheet are based on data collected between 24 June and 2 August 2018 from a total of 819 households across 89 communities and 7 sub-districts in Ar-Raqqa governorate. Households were sampled to allow findings to be generalisable with a 95% level of confidence and 10% margin of error at the sub-district level, and at least the same level of confidence and margin of error at the regional level. This factsheet also refers to data from a similar assessment from July 2017 in order to highlight significant trends.2 KEY FINDINGS This assessment found that a high proportion of Spontaneous returnees’ (SRs) last place of departure was within Ar-Raqqa governorate (92%). 90% of SR households in the governorate reported property ownership as the primary reason for returning to their community of origin.

    TRANSITION 2017 POLICYPOLICY NOTES FOR THE TRUMP NOTES ADMINISTRATION THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY ■ 2017 ■ PN38 EYEING RAQQA: A TALE OF FOUR TRIBES ANDREW J. TABLER, EDITOR N RECENT STATEMENTS, both the U.S.-backed and Kurdish-based Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Turkish-backed Euphrates Shield have stated their intention to take the Islamic State (IS) capital, IRaqqa, raising questions about what entity will replace the jihadist group in eastern Syria. Whatever the outcome, tribes in and around Raqqa will be central not only to defeating IS but also to ensuring it doesn’t return. Indeed, the sentiments of Arab tribesmen are hardly uniform, and are affected by clan and other internal rivalries, making them hard to predict. But these groups constitute the traditional political and social structure in eastern Syria, and their opinions on IS and other outside players will be pivotal in shaping a more stable order in the area. With this in mind, a recent visitor to Raqqa city and province, who will remain anonymous for security reasons, conducted interviews with a half-dozen tribal sheikhs and figures from each of the city’s four most prominent tribes: al-Bayattrah, al-Ajeel, al-Breij, and al-Na'im; three of these tribes belong to some of the largest extended tribes in eastern Syria—Aqidat, Jabbour, and Afadla. The interviews were ©2017 THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
