Highlights

  • As of 28 November, approximately 562,000 people including around 326,000 children had crossed into Syria due to escalating hostilities in Lebanon.
  • Since 27 November, following the ceasefire in Lebanon, about 34,000 people crossed from Syria back into Lebanon through the Jdaidet Yabous and Joussieh crossing points.
  • On 27 November, military escalation in Aleppo spread to the northwest governorates, displacing tens of thousands. The volatile situation has made it increasingly difficult to provide humanitarian aid to the affected populations, including IDPs and Syrian returnees.
  • During the reporting period, 1,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women received nutrition supplements to prevent anemia, while 1,189 children received micronutrient powders, and 1,097 children received lipid-based supplements.
  • In the reporting period, UNICEF successfully delivered essential water supply and sanitation services to over 25,000 individuals, safeguarding public health and preventing water-borne disease outbreaks.
