KEY MESSAGES
• In half of the assessed communities (51%), KIs reported that households had access to less than 6 hours of electricity per day. Among the main challenges to access power, KIs reported the rationing of electricity in 74% of assessed communities. Access to electricity remained a challenge in Northeast Syria due to repeated attacks on power and oil stations.
• Deir-ez-Zor is the governorate with the highest percentage of assessed communities (72%) where some households reportedly rented their shelters. However, within those communities renting may have exposed tenants to further challenges, such as unaffordable rental prices (reported in 97% of assessed communities), or the difficulty finding suitable shelters to rent (43%).
• KIs in 67% of assessed communities reported that households did not have access to sufficient water. The main barriers to access water were the high cost of water (reported in 55% of assessed communities), the lack of tanks to store the water (48%), and the limited availability of fuel or electricity to enable operation of water pumps (41%)
