Description:
June 2024 – The humanitarian situation in Syria has continued to deteriorate due to the civil war, resulting in displacement, severe protection risks and restricted humanitarian access. In Lebanon, the worsening socio-economic crisis and the continues devaluation of the Lebanese pound threaten the ability of the majority of its population to meet basic needs. According to the United Nations, an estimated 15.3 million people need humanitarian assistance in Syria, with over 6 million internally displaced persons. In Lebanon, 3.7 million people require humanitarian assistance.
With GAC’s support, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) emergency response in Syria and Lebanon contributes to meeting Palestinian refugees’ needs. Project activities include: (1) providing emergency assistance, including food, healthcare, water, and protection services to meet the basic needs of approximately 420,000 Palestinian refugees in Syria and 168,000 Palestinian refugees in Lebanon; and (2) supporting up to 51,000 Palestinian refugee children in Syria and up to 39,000 in Lebanon in continuing their school education.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:
The expected outcome of this project is improved access to emergency assistance to meet the basic needs of Palestinian refugees in Syria and Lebanon, including food, healthcare, water, and protection services.
The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated, and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
