CA-3-D000632001 2026-07-10T06:32:42 February 2014 - The humanitarian situation in Syria continues to deteriorate as a result of the civil war in the country. The United Nations estimates that more than 130,000 people have been killed, with 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 2.4 million Syrian refugees are registered and living in host countries in the region. Women and children are particularly vulnerable to the impact of the conflict and host countries are increasingly overstretched by the influx of affected people needing assistance. With the support of DFATD and other donors, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is providing food assistance to 146,000 Syrian and Palestinian refugees in Egypt and 300,000 Syrian refugees in Iraq. The project activity includes providing food or cash or vouchers to purchase food when appropriate.
