Seven years into the conflict, civilians in many parts of Syria continue to endure unprecedented violence, suffering, and protection threats. Over 13 million people require humanitarian aid, among which UNFPA is targeting 3.8 million. The systematic removal of medical items from assistance destined for UN-declared besieged and hard-to-reach areas continues, with more than 600,000 medical items removed from or prevented from being loaded on UN inter-agency convoys in the first eight months of 2017. Since January 2018, UNFPA has supported 130 functional health facilities that provide Emergency Obstetric Care and functional primary health care facilities and trained over 700 personnel on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and gender-based violence (GBV). UNFPA is leading the GBV sub-cluster and the SRH / Minimum Initial Service Package working group in Syria.
Results data are reported and updated as they become available.
- Targets and UNFPA's populations of concern, including women of reproductive age and pregnant women, are estimated using the MISP calculator.
- Funding estimates are based on country planning processes, including inter-agency humanitarian response plans and regional refugee and resilience plans.
L1: Humanitarian crises in which the national and international resources available in the affected country are sufficient for the required response.
L2: Humanitarian crises requiring significant support from neighbouring countries, regional organizations and possibly humanitarian agency headquarters.
L3: Major, sudden-onset humanitarian crises requiring mobilization across the humanitarian system.
Crisis levels are determined by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee, a forum of UN and non-UN humanitarian partners.
