CA-3-D000226001 2026-09-10T06:32:49 December 2013 - The humanitarian situation in Syria has rapidly deteriorated over the past year as a result of the civil war in the country. The United Nations estimates more than 110,000 people have been killed, and hundreds of thousands more wounded, due to the violence. Within Syria, some 9.3 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, 6.5 million of whom are internally displaced. In addition, over 2.2 million Syrian refugees are living in host countries in the region. Women and children are particularly vulnerable to the gravest consequences of the conflict and host countries are increasingly overstretched by the influx of people needing assistance. With DFATD’s support, the Norwegian Refugee Council is working to rehabilitate housing and provide support to help vulnerable people affected by the Syrian conflict, including refugees and host communities, survive the winter. Project activities include: (i) upgrading 125 existing housing units to meet basic standards of health and safety benefiting up to 625 conflict-affected people in Irbid/Northtern Governates; and (ii) providing gas refills for heaters for 75,000 Syrian refugees in Zaatari camp.
