Photo: Dara Masri Syria Crisis Monthly Humanitarian Highlights & Results MAY 2015: SYRIA, JORDAN, LEBANON, IRAQ, TURKEY AND EGYPT Highlights In Syria, between 17 May and 28 May 2015, more than 305,600 children wrote the grade 9 national exam, across 2,310 schools or centers countrywide. In Jordan, through UNICEF partners the Makani-My Space integrated approach, offering alternative education, psychosocial support services and life skills training has been implemented in 145 locations nationwide targeting vulnerable children and youth. In Iraq, approximately 12,000 individuals (approx. 2,500 households) received messaging through tent-to-tent visits and gatherings on the prevention of communicable diseases that have been present in camps. In Lebanon, in May the Education Sector rolled out the Accelerated Learning Programme (ALP) pilot in which 12,865 children participated in the ALP placement tests. The ALP, developed by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE), provides subjects required by the official Lebanese curriculum, in addition to life skills and psycho-social support modules. The ALP allows boys and girls aged 9 to 17 who have been out of school for more than two years, to catch up with the Lebanese educational system.

2 Syria Summer Preparedness UNICEF in coordination with the WASH sector is prepared to respond to water shortages and the water-borne disease outbreaks expected this summer. UNICEF has made rapid repairs to water systems to ensure sustained access to drinking water for up to 1 million people. UNICEF prepositioned critical WASH supplies including water purification tablets and health kits in all five of its field offices in order to respond quickly to the needs of up to 500,000 people. UNICEF urgently needs additional US$2.5 million by end of July to reinforce these response mechanisms. People in Besieged areas 440,000 Health The 14th national polio immunization campaign was carried out between 31 st May Children in Hard to Reach areas Up to 2 million and 4 th June and reached 2.2 million children under 5 with the polio vaccination. UNICEF in partnership with WHO and the Ministry of Health plans to conduct one additional polio campaign in the second half of Delivery of medical supplies in hard to reach areas remains challenging due to volatile security conditions which continue to limit access, as well as the cumbersome administrative procedures for aid delivery in hard to reach areas. In May, UNICEF was able to deliver five inter-agency emergency health kits to Ourem in eastern Aleppo, which can provide 50,000 primary health care consultations over a period of 3 months. WASH This year, UNICEF provided access to drinking water to 4,376,577 people through the rehabilitation of 66 boreholes and through the maintenance and repairs to water and sewage water networks at the municipal level across the country. In May alone, around 1,603,214 people were provided with improved access to water and sanitation facilities and services in Rural Damascus, Damascus, Aleppo, Hasakeh, Idleb and Homs. In addition, emergency interventions such as water trucking and temporary sanitation services benefitted over 760,595 people so far this year. In May, 127,138 people were reached with emergency WASH services in 10 subdistricts in Rural Damascus, Damascus, Aleppo, Hasakeh, Idleb and Homs. Education Between the 17 th and 28 th of May, more than 305,600 children wrote the grade 9 national exam across 2,310 schools and education centres countrywide. Over 12,000 grade 9 and grade 12 students from hard to reach areas are expected to travel to Hama city in order to write their exams in the coming month. During the month of May a total of 108,394 children were enrolled in remedial education programmes supported by UNICEF and its partners in Aleppo, Hasakeh, Sweida, Damascus, Hama, Homs, Rural Damascus, Lattakia and Tartous Governorates. The programme provides catch up classes on four core subject areas including Math, Science, Arabic and English. Alternative Education for Adolescents UNICEF provides alternative education where formal education is not possible. This includes vocational and life skills training that focuses on ensuring that young people, aged 10-19, are equipped with creativity, communication, critical thinking and team building skills. In May, a total of 103,014 adolescent boys and girls benefited from such education programmes in Damascus, Rural Damascus, Homs, Sweida, Hasakeh, Lattakia and Tartous. Nutrition Since January, a total of 174,000 children under-five, as well as pregnant and lactating women, received multi-micronutrient supplementation with nutrition supplements as part of preventive efforts. In addition, 5,000 children under five were treated for acute malnutrition. In May, 106,500 children and women received nutrition services through 27 existing nutrition centres in 12 governorates, with the exception of Ar Raqqa and Idleb, due to insecurity and lack of access. In 2015, it is estimated that about 3.9 million children and pregnant and lactating women will be in need of nutrition services across Syria. UNICEF is expanding nutrition services, including in hard to reach locations, by setting up an additional 31 nutrition centres across the country, bringing the total facilities providing prevention and treatment services to 58 by the end of Security Council Resolutions 2139, 2165 and 2191 Estimated Affected Population * OCHA The remaining figures are calculated on CBS 2011 demographic distribution and children under 18 years of age (46 % of the population) Population in Need* Children in Need (Under 18) Total Displaced Population * Children internally Displaced People in Hard to Reach areas 12.2 million 5.6 mn 7.6 mn 3.5 mn 4.8 mn From Damascus, UNICEF provided assistance through cross line convoys and emergency response programmes to over 730,000 people (including 366,277 children) in the form of water and sanitation, hygiene, nutrition, education and child protection supplies and services. 2

4 Child Protection 1) Children and individuals in communities reached through explosive-remnants-of-war (ERW) Risk Education (RE) awareness through schools and mass communication, and integrating RE into existing activities including school clubs, health services and other child protection services. Note: Data will not be available until the end of June 2015 awaiting the MoE consolidated report from the Directorates of Education in the 8 Governorates. 2) Beneficiaries of psychosocial support include children/ adolescents receiving PSS in CFS, AFS (55,000 adolescents), mobile units, and school clubs. 3) Level 1 PSS including children benefiting from recreation kits and child protection open days. In addition, this indicator will measure adolescents reached through mobile outreach approach (95,000 adolescents). 4) Child protection actors include 1500 school counsellors and 500 community / NGO workers, trained in PSS and case management and referrals Education 1) UNICEF target combines Children provided equitable access to formal education opportunities through: i) School rehabilitation (350,000), ii) Prefabricated classrooms (14,000), and iii) basic education bursaries for formal schools (1,500). May update: School rehabilitation projects started with NGOs and WASH implementing partners. Results remain limited pending the start of the new school year in September. 2) # of children provided with non-formal education opportunities (some of which can improve learning in formal schools), including 1.6 million children/ adolescents provided with self-learning materials (total) of whom: i) 500,000 children provided remedial education; ii) 165,000 adolescents provided Life Skills Based Education, including at least 56,000 with vocational education, and 130,000 adolescents through mobile outreach. 3) Results against target groups: i) Teachers 131 reached of 5,800 targetted; and ii) Youth Volunteers: 822 of 1,000 targetted. As at 31 May 2015: The teachers will train other teachers in several phases during Quarter 3 and 4. 4) Essential teaching and learning materials includes text books, school bags and stationaries (target: 2.8 Million) to be delivered before the new school year commences in September Therefore the number of beneficiary children remains limited in May Health 1) # of children under five reached with polio vaccine. Note: results reported are from the February 2015 polio campaign. 2) Routine vaccination data received for most Governorates and compiled up to 31 May 2015, awaiting complete data. 3) # children & pregnant and lactating women accessing basic health services: 243,468 reached in health centers and 121,844 through mobile teams Nutrition 1) Micronutrient supplementation: Result as at 31 May 2015 includes 90,970 children and 11,268 PLWs. 2) Complementary foods and lipid-based nutrient supplements: As as 31 May ,391 children under 2 received complementary food and 53,299 children under 3 received lipid-based nutrient supplements (Plumpy Doz). 3) Children treated for Global Acute Malnutrition (Moderate(MAM) + Severe (SAM)) with Ready-to-use Therapeutic Food. As as 31 May 20154,377 children were treated for MAM and 655 children reached with out-patient SAM treatment. Progress is constrained by factors including limited centres for Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (currently 47 operational); limited capacity and number of partners; inaccessibility as a result of insecurity; centralized procedures in identifying acutely malnourished cases in Governorates; and lengthy procedures for supply movement. Social Protection 1) Displaced and vulnerable households supported with cash and vouchers to meet immediate basic needs. Note: The voucher pilot programme is expected to start in July 2015 in Qamishli. All the necessary preparations (including market assessments) are currently being undertaken. 2) Displaced children (3 months to 14 years) supported to protect them from the impact of extreme weather - particularly in shelters/hard to reach areas. Note: with the distribution of blankets and summer clothes the annual target is expected to be achieved in the next few months. 4

5 Jordan Protection In May, UNICEF and partners wrapped up a series of trainings for 57 judges from Shariaa and juvenile courts (29 from the north and 28 from central Jordan) on the formalisation of alternative care procedures for unaccompanied and separated refugees. Affected Population Registered refugee figures from UNHCR data portal as at June 07, There are no persons pending registration. Registered M: 309,683; F: 628,160 refugees 318,477 Child Refugees M: 166,462; F: 324,131 (Under 18) 157,668 Child Refugees (Under 5) 105,531 M: 54,022; F: 51,509 UNICEF and partners have reached 97,000 girls and boys with psychosocial support services since the start of This includes 2,799 children accessing case management services due to specific vulnerabilities. Basic needs In response to increased economic vulnerability of refugees in Jordan and rising use of negative coping mechanisms, UNICEF continued the humanitarian child cash grant, reaching 56,215 of the most vulnerable Syrian girls and boys (from 15,788 families) in May, including 20,161 girls and boys from female headed households. The programme will end in August if no further funding is received. Health In order to strengthen the routine EPI programme, UNICEF finalized the action plan for the implementation of Routine Immunization-Reach Every Community activities in High Risk Areas for the period of Jun Dec 2015 and equipped seven EPI centers in the Za atati camp with seven fully functioning solar fridges to ensure good quality cold chain and further strengthen routine immunization. In May, 137 doctors, nurses and midwives received 5 days of training on infant and young child feeding practices, and 7 days of training on integrated management of childhood illnesses (IMCI). Education Through UNICEF partners, the Makani-My Space integrated approach, offering alternative education, psychosocial support services and life skills training has been implemented in 145 locations nationwide targeting vulnerable children and youth. The Ministry of Education and UNICEF jointly organized a planning workshop to identify the educational needs of refugees in camp settings and sketched out detailed plans for the 2015/16 academic year with clear roles and responsibilities for all parties. WASH The third borehole in Za atari is now operational and will gradually increase production reducing the vulnerability to employee strikes and water quality issues for over 17,000 refugees. Despite a May unannounced strike by water and wastewater drivers in Za atari, over 80% of the daily water quantities needed by the population were delivered over the strike period. This was achieved through a range of innovative approaches, including the construction of a temporary pipeline, the transportation of water tanks and the establishment of tap stands at boreholes.

7 Iraq Health Immunization of children displaced from high-risk areas is one of UNICEF s priority health interventions. Border crossings are an opportune place to reach as many children as possible, before they scatter across refugee camps or disappear within host communities. Following the re-opening of the Syrian-Iraqi post at Peshkhabour, the Directorate of Health (DOH)/Dahuk with the support of UNICEF, vaccinated a total of 275 under 15 year old refugee children entering Iraq against polio and 260 against measles. Education Since the beginning of the year, UNICEF, with the support of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and War Child UK trained a total of 368 teachers on a variety of subjects, indirectly benefitting an estimated 8,175 students. UNICEF, with the support of its implementing partners, is continuing its efforts to build the capacity of teachers across Syrian refugee camps in the KR-I. Throughout May, 199 refugee teachers from six refugee camps in Erbil and Dahuk governorates (Darashakran, Qushtapa, Basirma, Kawergosk, Domiz I & II) received training on either psychosocial support in schools or the fundamentals of good teaching practice. Affected Population Registered refugee figures from UNHCR data portal as at June 07, There are no persons pending registration.

Child Protection Throughout May, UNICEF, in co-operation with its implementing partners, registered 1,242 new refugee children (656 girls; 586 boys) in psychosocial support services in UNICEF s Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) in Dahuk, Sulaymaniyah and Erbil camps and noncamp locations. A total of 5,529 children (2,923 girls; 2,606 boys) have been reached with psychosocial support services since January UNICEF s implementing partners conducted meetings with parents that aimed to identify ways to support children in CFP s with education activities that will prepare them for final school examinations. 334 refugee children (62 girls; 272 boys) were identified and referred to specialized child protection services from frontline workers, raising the cumulative total to 806 children (222 girls; 584 boys) since the beginning of Referred cases included children with psychosocial distress and disorders, non-attendance of school, child labor, unaccompanied minors and domestic violence. As part of the continuing efforts to raise living standards in Syrian refugee camps, NRC filled an area which had accumulated heavily polluted, stagnant water and become a breeding ground for flies, mosquitos and other pests in Domiz 1 Camp, improving the local environment for some 2,405 Syrians. WASH UNICEF-supported hygiene promotion activities continued across nine of the ten refugee camps in the reporting period, reaching a total of 84,763 individuals. Approximately 12,000 individuals (approx. 2,500 households) received messaging through tent-to-tent visits and gatherings on the prevention and treatment of scabies and lice, which have been problems in certain camps in recent months, and on other good hygiene practices. Additionally, two large and five smaller wall paintings in Rojava School, on latrines and water facilities, and in public places of Domiz Camp were completed, depicting and reminding at least 300 school children of key hygiene messages. Hygiene promotion in Arbat Refugee Camp could not be extended, due to the lack of funding. 7

The number of beneficiaries reached by UNICEF will gradually decline approaching the target set for UNICEF. Monthly results may decrease with the total refugee population declining in camps. However, the results reflected in this table constitute the maximum number of achieved beneficiaries for the respective activities. Where available, monthly (incremental) beneficiary figures are presented for each indicator for sector and/or UNICEF. 10 Beneficiaries in May 2015 for the Sector and UNICEF were 19,691 due to decline in camp population, result in table is the maximum reached in Beneficiaries in May 2015 for Sector and UNICEF were 72,423 due to decline in camp population, result in table is the maximum reached in Beneficiaries in May 2015 for the Sector were 90,649 and for UNICEF were 90,646 due to decline in camp population. 13 Sector and UNICEF beneficiaries in May 2015 were 20,192 as activities are handed over to the government partners. 14 Actual Sector and UNICEF beneficiaries in May 2015 were 14,490 children with access to WASH facilities in schools, due to the decrease in school enrolment. 15 Sector and UNICEF targets refer to children of 6 to 14 years enrolled in formal basic education. 16 This indicator refers to immunization against polio via campaigns, which target all children under the age of five years, including IDPs, host community members and Syrian Refugee children across the KR-I. Since more than 97 per cent of all Syrian refugees in Iraq reside in the KR-I, the 3RP funds for polio immunization are used for Dahuk, Erbil and Sulaymaniyah Governorates, while immunization campaigns in the rest of Iraq are funded under the SRP. The HPM reflects the total May polio campaign results in the KR-I, of whom 32,436 were refugees in and out-side camps. 17 The result of this indicator refers to the number of registered growth monitoring visits. One child could have benefitted repeatedly from nutrition screening services. 8

9 Lebanon Health and Nutrition UNICEF supports the nutrition capacity of the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) as a part of the wider sector capacity development initiative. In May 2015, UNICEF sponsored 15 participants from MoPH and partners to attend a two week training course on nutrition in emergencies (NiE) organised by AUB in collaboration with the Institute of Child Health London. Affected Population Registered refugee figures from UNHCR data portal as at June 07, *estimated as per 3RP M: Male; F: Female Registered Refugees 1,183,327 M: 560,897; F: 622,430 Persons Pending Registration 0* n/a Child Refugees (Under 18) 630,713 M: 321,865; F: 308,848 Child Refugees (Under 5) 222,465 M: 113,599; F: 108,866 Estimated host community 1,500,000 n/a affected* Child Protection On 14 May 2015, the Ministry of Public Health s National Mental Health programme launched the National Mental Health and Substance Use Prevention, Promotion and Treatment Strategy Developed with the technical support of UNICEF and WHO, the strategy contributes to the development of a sustainable mental health system that guarantees the provision and universal accessibility of high quality mental health curative and preventive services through a cost-effective, evidence-based and multidisciplinary approach, with an emphasis on community involvement, continuum of care, human rights, and cultural relevance. This will reinforce the existing support system to refugees of 130 social workers and 270 non child specific protection actors by providing standardised care and referral mechanisms for refugees and host communities alike. Also during this reporting period, and given the revised residency regulations that are in place since early January, an increased number of raids and arbitrary arrests took place in Informal Settlements and collective shelters in Akkar, including the arrests of 8 children of Syrian nationality. UNICEF, in coordination with UNHCR, followed up with the Lebanese authorities, who released all 8 children within 48 hours. In light of this situation, UNICEF is strengthening psychosocial support activities and case management in Informal Settlements. As the co-lead of the CP/GBV working groups, UNICEF is developing key messages to reduce various child protection risks, including evictions, fire and arbitrary arrests. Education In Lebanon, in May, the Education Sector rolled out the Accelerated Learning Programme (ALP) pilot in which 12,865 children participated in the ALP placement tests. The ALP, developed by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE), provides subjects required by the official Lebanese curriculum, in addition to life skills and psycho-social support modules. The ALP allows boys and girls aged 9 to 17 who have been out of school for more than two years, to catch up with the Lebanese educational system. The outreach to out-of-school children was facilitated by NGOs, with the guidance of MEHE. Once they complete the ALP programme, which is expected to start in early July, the students will be able to enrol in public schools. WASH The refugee influx has increased the production of solid waste in municipalities. To mitigate the consequences and prevent waste accumulation, in May 2015 UNICEF distributed 1,000 plastic bins (50-240L) and 215 steel bins (from L) to 5 vulnerable municipalities in Bekaa and 4 vulnerable municipalities in the North, benefitting more than 70,000 people. 9
