2 Overview S yria is now in its third year of crisis and with insecurity reaching almost all parts of the country, the nature and scope of UNHCR s intervention has expanded significantly in order to assist several millions of individuals displaced by the crisis. These responsibilities are in addition to the protection and assistance UNHCR continues to provide to refugees and asylum-seekers, whose numbers have decreased since the beginning of the crisis in March 2011, from 150,000 persons to approximately 45,600 in September Staffing and offices In view of the scale of humanitarian needs, UNHCR has been recruiting additional staff. To date, 352 staff members are working for refugees, asylumseekers and IDPs, including 35 international staff, and 317 national staff. UN- HCR is present permanently in Damascus; Aleppo; Hassakeh/ Qamishly; Homs and Tartous. UNHCR has three warehouses inside the country, including Damascus, Tartous, Homs and one in the Zarqa Free zone, Jordan. Colleagues assigned to Hassakeh have been working from Qamishly since March and colleagues based in Homs were relocated to Tartous in June for security reasons and carried out daily missions from there for close to three months until the security upgrade of the UN Hub in Homs was completed.

For the IDP response, UNHCR currently operates with 15 international and local partners, as well as several charities and community-based organizations. The Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) is UNHCR s main implementing partner and a key operational counterpart for both the refugee programme and the IDP response. UNHCR s IDP response is fully integrated in the inter-agency Syria Humanitarian Response Plan (SHARP) developed in 2012 and updated in UNHCR is the sector lead in two sectors, CRIs/ Shelter and Protection/ Community services.

4 IDP Response - Core Relief Items (CRI) KEY FACTS A standard CRIs kit for a family of 5 persons costs US$255 CRIs represent 73% of UNHCR IDP response s funding needs OBJECTIVES Distribution of CRIs to 3 million IDPs (UNHCR), out of 4.06 million IDPs to be supported by the CRI/Shelter sector Budget: US$ million ACHIEVEMENTS CRIs dispatched for 2,470,500 IDPs 6,550 family tents dispatched to partners for distribution to IDPs U NHCR is leading the interagency effort to provide material in inaccessible areas. assistance to over four million Many relief items are no longer produced (4.06 million) IDPs by year-end in Syria and are increasingly difficult to and has itself assumed responsibility for delivery to three million IDPs (600,000 families). Three million beneficiaries represent approximately 80% of UNHCR s 3.8 million IDP target in The provision of source locally and must be imported, which takes between two weeks and three months. Once the goods have reached UNHCR warehouses, they are transported by private local contractors to partners CRIs is the main component of UNHCR s warehouses and IDP response to the crisis, in terms of outreach, points of delivery number of beneficiaries and funding where UNHCR part- requirements. ners ensure their distribution. Alternatively, such aid can be part of the UN inter-agency convoys organized across the country, including to hard-to-reach areas. CRIs are designed to make the accommodation available to displaced populations more livable. As they seek refuge in communal shelters and unfinished buildings or live in the open, CRIs provided by UNHCR and partners are a truly lifesaving contribution to the overall humanitarian effort especially with the extreme temperatures reached in winter. In addition and whenever access is possible, UNHCR provides family-size tents to IDPs living in the open, although this population is located primarily Winterization The timely provision of items is vital for the survival of many displaced, especially through the cold period. Winterization is an additional initiative carried out in the last three months of the year, with quantities and specifications of items in the kit adjusted to the needs in winter. By the end of the year, UNHCR plans to reach close to half a million displaced with winterized material assistance. Core Relief Items (CRI) Family kit 3 mattresses 5 blankets 3 sleeping mats diapers 1 kitchen set 1 jerry can sanitary napkins 1 hygiene kit 1 solar lamp 1 plastic sheet Winter : 5 high thermal blankets instead of the regular blankets, 1 extra plastic sheet Summer: 1 rechargeable fan Quantities are adjusted according to family size 4

5 IDP Response - Shelter KEY FACTS At least 1.2 million houses damaged; 3.5% of the displaced live in collective shelters OBJECTIVES ACHIEVEMENTS Rehabilitation completed for 66 collective shelters and rehabilitation ongoing for 47 shelters, benefitting 32,514 IDPs. Support 260,000 IDPs with shelter, incl.: Rehabilitation of 352 Collective Shelters (31,000 families/ 155,000 persons) Construction of 200 family-unit shelters pilot project (200 families/ 1,000 persons) Provision of 18,600 shelter kits (18,600 families, 93,000 persons) Budget: US$ 20 million T hrough its role as lead agency in the NFI/ Shelter Sector and its partnership with the NGOs already engaged in shelter support, UNHCR aims to improve the living conditions of 260,000 IDPs in The displaced population targeted is among the estimated 3.5% of IDPs living in collective shelters, either in one of the 983 formal shelters identified by the authorities as needing rehabilitation or in often unfinished buildings converted into informal collective shelters. This displaced population is commonly more vulnerable than IDPs living with host families or in rented accommodation. UNHCR s shelter response, including WASH activities, provides for: - The rehabilitation of 352 formal collective shelters, which are often public buildings such as schools. Works typically require partitioning, child-friendly spaces, water and sanitation improvements, lockable doors and windows. After delays at the outset, the programme has made significant progress since rehabilitation work started in May. - The construction of 200 family-unit shelters: this pilot project aims to support initially a group of 1,000 IDPs. Activities in the shelter sector are supported by regular field/protection shelter visits which have taken place to 298 sites in Aleppo, Homs, Hassakeh, Damascus, Rural Damascus, Tartous and Dera a to assess protection and material needs.

6 IDP Response - Financial Assistance KEY FACTS (comparisons with 2011) Increase by at least 50% of the Consumer Price Index Increase by at least 25% of food prices 50% of the population have lost their employment OBJECTIVES Provide cash assistance to 100,000 IDP families (500,000 individuals) Budget: US$ 16.7 million ACHIEVEMENTS US$ 3,1 million distributed in cash to 24,648 IDP families (131,642 individuals) Assistance provided in Damascus/Rural Damascus, Homs, Tartous and Hassakeh. L argely inspired by the refugee financial assistance programme, the IDP financial assistance programme is a practical and direct means to help displaced families meet urgent needs not covered by other forms of material assistance. The programme targets the most vulnerable families who are identified based on a set of criteria. It is implemented directly by UNHCR with the support of a private bank and of local NGOs for crowd control. In situations where CRIs cannot be delivered, the financial assistance programme is not a complement but rather an alternative form of support and is provided to all displaced families to ensure that they can meet their most urgent needs with cash. This is the case in Hassakeh where banks continue to function but the delivery of material assistance has proved extremely difficult in Families receive a one-time cash assistance in the form of cheques for US$150 on average, depending on family size. Surveys conducted by UNHCR teams show that IDPs use the money primarily for clothing, fresh food and healthcare. A significant advantage of this programme is the minimal logistics required. The main difficulty faced to date has been when insecurity has forced UNHCR staff to suspend field missions and delay the distribution of cash to beneficiaries. 6

7 IDP Response - Health KEY FACTS 60% of Syria s 88 public hospitals and 92% of ambulances are damaged or out of service; 15,000 doctors have left Syria; 70% of pharmaceutical plants affected OBJECTIVES Provide medical assistance to 615,000 IDPs, including notably: - Provide 480,000 IDPs with primary healthcare - Refer 4,000 IDPs to secondary and tertiary medical care - Support 10 health facilities with medical equipment - 194,869 IDPs supported with primary healthcare in 6 UNHCR-funded SARC clinics - 1,043 IDPs referred to out contracted charity association hospitals and provided with emergency secondary and tertiary healthcare (medical, surgical and obstetric care) - 2,000 IDPs supported by teams of health outreach volun- U NHCR IDP health response is by and large an extension of the existing refugee health programme implemented mainly with SARC. teers - 700,000 IDPs in all Governorates of Syria provided with medicine worth US$ 5.28 million medical equipment delivered in hospitals helping approx. 35,000 IDPs per month - 9,302 children and women living in shelters supported with psychosocial support activities conducted by mobile psychosocial support teams IDPs supported with mental health services in SARC clinics - Medical devices for 150 disabled IDPs and artificial limbs for 109 IDPs. Budget: US$16.3 million ACHIEVEMENTS UNHCR has supported 894,869 IDPs in total, exceeding by 45% the SHARP target of 615,000 IDPs. The main objective of UNHCR s health response is to ensure access of IDPs to comprehensive primary healthcare in the clinics supported by UNHCR across the country, including medical consultations, laboratory investigations, provision of essential medicines and mental health and psycho-social support (MHPSS). UNHCR also plans to refer and support up to 4,000 IDPs at the secondary and tertiary healthcare level with medical, surgical and obstetric care. In view of the vital and increasing need for medical supplies, medicine and equipment, UNHCR s objective is to increase the capacity of health facilities including public and charity association hospitals in affected areas through the procurement of medical equipment and lifesaving medicines. UNHCR is part of the Health Working Group and is co-chairing the mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) technical reference group along with IMC and IOM. 7

8 IDP Response - Protection KEY FACTS Problems related to documentation, legal protection, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) and psychosocial support needs are on the rise; Increase of child protection problems, including child recruitment OBJECTIVES Target beneficiaries: 250,300 IDPs, incl. : 100,000 children 80,000 women 70,000 IDPs with specific needs 300 staff partners, concerned ministries, NGOs and CBOs Cash assistance and specific relief items for 28,737 IDPs Set up of a Child Protection Centre in Damascus Education activities for 12,007 children Livelihood and self-reliance activities for 8,343 students SGBV prevention and response activities for 6,307 IDPs Legal assistance for 5,150 IDPs Running of 7 community centres Recruitment and training of 210 outreach volunteers 5 capacity-building training sessions for 195 NGO staff. Budget: US$8.8 million ACHIEVEMENTS Support to a total of 138,846 IDPs. Regular protection monitoring visits to 270 collective shelters (Aleppo, Homs, Hassakeh, Damascus, Rural Damascus, Tartous and Dara a) 35 Focus Group discussions conducted Social, recreational and empowerment activities for 44,325 women, children and other vulnerable IDPs T he crisis and forced population displacement have exacerbated or created new economic, protection and social vulnerabilities. Incidents of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), early marriages, and divorces have been on the rise. Depression and psychosocial support needs are affecting more particularly women, who often are now the only breadwinner in the family. Unemployment is on the rise and livelihood opportunities are on the decline. Persons with specific needs are particularly affected by the effects of displacement and the rupture of the social fabric. Cases of abandonment, neglect and isolation of vulnerable persons such as the elderly and the disabled are more and more frequent. Interventions are required to ensure equal access to basic services. The situation of children, who represent approximately half of the displaced population, is of growing concern due to the short and longer term impact of school drop-out and lack of developmental and social activities. The problem of child recruitment is also reported. UNHCR s objective is to enhance individual and community coping capacities by means of material and non-material assistance and through the establishment of community centres offering a range of social services. Focus group discussions, recreational and community empowerment activities conducted in community centres, legal and social counseling, school enrolment support, capacity-building are some of the services and activities which UNHCR plans to organize for over 250,000 individuals by the end of UNHCR teams have access and visit collective shelters regularly in order to assess and identify displaced persons with vulnerabilities and counsel or refer them for further support depending on the nature of their needs. UNHCR leads the SHARP Protection/ Community Services Working Group that advocates for protection principles, undertakes specific outreach projects and counselling, offers SGBV support, and seeks to mainstream protection across other sectors. 8

9 Refugee Programme KEY FACTS (statistics as of end September 2013) - 45,615 persons are registered with UNHCR (86.8% Iraqis) - 6,014 families are female-headed households (40.8%) - 27,906 refugees have been in Syria for over 5 years (61%) - 19,559 refugees have specific needs (43% of the total population) - 4,921 refugees are known to have returned home voluntarily in 2013 with assistance or spontaneously OBJECTIVES - Cash for food for 70,000 refugees and asylum-seekers Cash assistance to 46,750 refugees - Primary healthcare for 75,000 refugees and referral of 9,000 to secondary and tertiary medical care - 3,000 resettlement submissions and 3,500 resettlement departures (individuals) ACHIEVEMENTS - Cash for food provided to 34,493 refugees and asylumseekers (monthly average ) - Cash assistance provided to 22,289 refugees (monthly average) - Primary healthcare for 15,000 refugees and referral of 1,350 refugees to secondary and tertiary medical care - 1,664 individual submissions, 3,458 resettlement departures (the number of resettlement departures increases to 4,415 when including sponsorship family reunifications and other cases of concern to UNHCR). T he objective of the UNHCR refugee programme is to maintain a favourable protection environment for refugees; address individual protection needs; meet the basic needs of an increasingly vulnerable population; and identify and process existing durable solutions. UNHCR has increased its material assistance programme for refugees in view of the heightened difficulties they face in Syria. Monthly cash allowances for food and for financial support have been raised and now amount to 4,000 Syrian Pounds/ SYP per person and approximately 15,000 SYP per family for cash assistance, respectively, depending on family size. Since May 2013 the cash assistance programme covers all refugees to help them cope with the rising costs of household staples. Other activities include refugee status determination, registration and documentation, the issuance of refugee certificates, legal and protection support, community services counselling, food, non-food and cash assistance, psychosocial support, healthcare, education and vocational training, as well as durable solutions, including resettlement. Activities are designed and implemented in cooperation with the Syrian authorities, who have maintained a policy of open access to public services for refugees, as well as SARC, local and international NGOs and several international and UN organizations. The design and implementation of the refugee programme also relies significantly on the involvement of refugees themselves, through the Outreach Refugee Volunteers programme (ORVs), a network of trained refugees who help identify vulnerable refugees and address their problems. Many ORVs have left the country because of the insecurity; the programme continues however with 66 refugee Volunteers, down from 160 two years ago Population registered with UNHCR since 2007 (end of year) Individuals Sep-13

10 Impact of the crisis on Refugees T here are 45,615 refugees and asylum-seekers remaining in Syria by end of September This represents less than one third of the population registered with UN- HCR when the crisis started. The insecurity across the country has prompted many refugees, mainly from Iraq, to return home earlier than they would have chosen. Refugees have reported increasing tensions with the local community. Although not targeted during armed clashes, refugees have reported more and more security and protection issues increasingly serious incidents such as killings, kidnappings, robberies, threats and harassment. The proportion of refugees with specific needs (see chart) has doubled in the last two years, from an already high level 35% - to 43% of the total population. Refugees with special needs often cannot or are not willing to return home or move to another country. Most refugees remaining in Syria are considered to be extremely vulnerable, not only due to their special needs and traumatic experiences suffered in their countries of origin, but also by the impact of the crisis on their security, protection, health, psychosocial and socioeconomic conditions. As with Syrians, the crisis has affected refugees access to services and schools and increased their financial and socioeconomic hardship. Families have been sliding deeper into poverty; suffer from exploitation and resort to negative coping mechanisms such as child labour, early marriages and survival sex. Another source of distress for many families is the disruption of the resettlement programme. Over 17,000 individuals at various stages of resettlement processing have been compelled to remain in Syria until a solution is found for them. UNHCR has developed the use of videoconferencing to replace on site interviews by resettlement countries in order to process at least a small number of cases and maintain this option for the most vulnerable refugees. The crisis has seriously disrupted the rese lement programme and put on hold the processing of many cases. Several hundreds refugees come every week to the UNHCR rese lement counseling days or call the hotline to enquire about their case, poten al alterna ves to express their concerns and distress about delays.

12 Stories from the field Displaced from Aleppo Noura*, a mother of a one year-old baby girl, fled from Aleppo to find safety in Qamishly. Her trip was not an easy one especially for a woman who lost her husband and had to flee while she was eight-month pregnant. Because I was not able to pay the ransom to release my husband, they brought him dead two days later. Noura says, with eyes full of tears. Because Badria never lost hope, she relocated to Qamishly where she gave birth to her first and only daughter. Noura has been living alone with her daughter. She has been depending on housekeeping work and from charity support from her neighbors, which is not enough to meet her needs and especially those of her baby. Recently, Noura heard about the UNHCR cash assistance programme. Noura was able to register. She then got her assistance card and was included in the list of cash assistance beneficiaries. Counselling session during the cash distribu on in Hassakeh. During the distribution and a few weeks after the distribution, UNHCR teams ask beneficiaries how they intend to use and how they eventually used the grant. At the distribution centre, Noura told UNHCR that she would use it to pay back debts to the neighboring supermarket and to buy milk and diapers for her baby girl. Displaced from Rural Damascus Zeinab*, a 36-year old mother of five children, has been living with her family in East Ghouta, Rural Damascus. Because of the crisis, Zeinab and her family have been displaced multiple times, sometimes moving every three weeks, from villages to villages in search of safety. The Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) Ar ficial Limb Centre in Damascus, supported by Syria/ 2013 Six months ago, when she and her 7-year-old child were visiting friends, the building where they were meeting got hit by a bomb. Trying to extract herself from the ruins, she realized that she had lost one leg and that her other foot was missing. She was quickly taken to a nearby field hospital for the amputation of her foot, but the lack of medicines and medical equipment resulted in a complication of her case and caused gangrene. In total, Zeinab had to undergo three amputations of the leg, in an attempt to stop the gangrene. Zeinab suffered terribly physically. Emotionally and psychologically the pain was even greater, also because her child died in the attack. Accused of being responsible for the death of their child, she was soon abandoned by the husband, leaving her without any support. Since the attack Zeinab has had no choice but to rely on her four children and family s support to do everything, although they can hardly meet the basic needs of the family. Talking in tears to a UNHCR health worker, Zeinab explained: I am looking forward to the day I can walk again and be independent... I am not used to sit; I was always working and helping others. I wish I could do my own things by myself, go to the bathroom on my own, not living with the horrible feeling of ruining others lives by being a burden for them..." Two months after the attack, in May 2013 Zeinab eventually reached the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) Artificial Limbs Centre in Damascus which is supported by UNHCR. Doctors told her that she had to undergo another surgery in order to improve the shape of her amputated legs before getting artificial limbs. Indeed, the medical support she received at the under-equipped field hospital was so poor that no artificial limbs would fit her legs. After yet another surgery and a long recovery period, Zeinab is now ready to get her two artificial legs. Following a long training and adaptation period, Zeinab will be able to walk again and take care of herself, and of others, as she used to do. (*Names have been changed.) 12
