Overview of Developments
As of 10 October, based on key informant interviews,
REACH estimates that around 3,000 Syrians fleeing
the conflict in Lebanon have arrived in north-west
Syria, mainly in communities in Jarablus, Idleb, and
Ariha.
It has also been reported that approximately 1,000
individuals, many of whom have arrived from Lebanon,
are waiting to cross into northern Aleppo, where local
authorities are overseeing their entry.
Humanitarian partners on the ground are providing
protection services and medical care to people as they
arrive. Family members and others are assisting those
who arrive with onward transportation. Many of those
arriving, especially children, the elderly and chronically
ill, are exhausted from their journey and in need of
support.
UNHCR's monitoring indicates that Syrian households
fleeing Lebanon’s conflict and arriving in north-west
Syria are primarily from the north-west and have
sought refuge with relatives. Women head two-third
of these households, which average five individuals.
Notably, 70% of households consist of women and
children, while around a third have family members still
in Lebanon. The vulnerable households urgently
require core relief items, livelihood support, medical
care, psycho-social aid, as well as sustainable housing
solutions.
