Overview

The conflict in Syria continues to impact the humanitarian situation resulting in significant humanitarian needs.

Access to basic needs including food, water, electricity and medical supplies has been interrupted in areas witnessing armed activities. A growing number of main breadwinners have become unemployed and soaring food and fuel prices across the country have also exacerbated the situation.
