OCHA - Situation Report - Highlights ()

  • After 13 years of conflict, the humanitarian situation in north-west Syria is at its worst. 3.4 million people are internally displaced - up from 2.9 million people last year.
  • Almost half of the 4.2 million people in need are children, many of whom live in overcrowded camps. 89 per cent of children in north-west Syria require protection assistance.
  • Active hostilities have killed at least seven civilians, including one child, and injured 31 others in the first two months of 2024, reported local health authorities.
  • Early recovery support is ongoing to address protracted needs. Over 31,000 families have been moved out of tents into dignified shelters over the past two years.
  • The cross-border response is facing the worst funding crisis in its history. Critical functions of nine hospitals were temporarily suspended last year due to funding shortfalls.
