Winter will adversely impact millions of people from November 2014 through March 2015, particularly in areas where vulnerable communities will face severe winter conditions: northern Iraq, southern Turkey and mountainous areas of Lebanon.
Indications are that agencies are delayed in their winter planning at the country-level and it is unlikely that needs will be met in time.
Primary concerns are lack of available funding, along with limited common understanding of needs and vulnerabilities, and difficulties accessing to conflict-affected areas.
