Description:
September 2016 – The Syria Crisis has undermined security and stability in the Middle East and has resulted in unprecedented humanitarian needs. Now in its sixth year, the conflict in Syria has led to the worst displacement crisis in the world. Millions of internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, stateless persons and asylum seekers in Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Turkey are vulnerable to violence, food and income insecurity, health risks, and sexual and gender-based violence. Canada is helping to reduce the vulnerability of millions of crisis-affected people, especially women and children, through a broad spectrum of humanitarian assistance activities across Syria and in refugee hosting countries.
Through GAC’s support, the United Nations High Commisionner for Refugess (UNHCR) is contributing to improved living conditions, livelihoods and protection for vulnerable populations, especially women and girls. Project activities include: (1) providing core relief items to people of concern; (2) providing emergency shelter to IDPs; and (3) providing cash-based assistance grants to conflict-affected households.
