HIGHLIGHTS

In northwest Syria, hostilities on NSA-controlled areas in North-West Syria which intensified in early September have significantly reduced since 17 September.

In northeast of Syria, the SDF-led campaign against the last ISIL-held enclave in northeastern rural Deir-ez-Zor has continued at unprecedented intensity.

Needs inside the formerly besieged enclave of East Ghouta remain high.

Receiving approvals from the authorities to implement new projects across the country remains a challenge.

Deir-ez-Zor there is a substantial gap in health service provision.
To ensure a sustainable system of supporting referrals to the secondary health care in NES is a priority.
