Abstract:

The humanitarian situation is critical and our work on the ground needs to resume, to deliver emergency relief to children and their families” speaking from Damascus, Andrea Sparro WeWorld Country Representative.

The collapse of the regime and the fragile political situation, which is evolving hour by hour, have added to humanitarian needs in a country where more than 17 million people require humanitarian assistance. The most vulnerable are children, women, elderly, and people with disabilities.

Since the 28th of November, approximately one million people have experienced displacement from several areas, including Aleppo, Hama, Homs, and Idleb Governorates. The majority of those displaced are women and children, with women and girls comprising nearly 50%.
