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. GAC’s multi-year humanitarian support to this project is contributing to improved health, living conditions, livelihoods and protection for conflict-affected populations in Syria. Project activities include: (1) providing food assistance and non-food essential relief items (NFI) to conflict-affected people; (2) supporting productive inputs for livelihoods of water and habitat support; (3) providing medical services through direct support to health centres and hospitals; and (4) providing physical rehabilitation support to vulnerable persons.

Global Affairs Canada

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved access to food, NFI, water and shelter assistance for vulnerable persons; (2) improved access to medical services through health centres and hospitals; and (3) improved access to physical rehabilitation services for vulnerable persons.

The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or that are food insecure
