CA-3-D000703001 2026-09-10T06:32:49 June 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 150,000 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 2.8 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 DFATD's support, Handicap International Canada (HIC) is addressing the emergency needs of 23,700 of the most vulnerable Syrian crisis-affected people in Lebanon. This project assists people with injuries, disabilities and chronic medical conditions as well as elderly and isolated individuals, who face extra barriers when accessing humanitarian assistance and are at greater risk of exploitation. Project activities include: (1) supporting health facilities to provide emergency rehabilitation care; (2) providing physical rehabilitation care and psychosocial support to 4,000 people; and (3) identifying, assessing needs and referring vulnerable people to appropriate services.

The expected intermediate outcome is reduced vulnerability of crisis-affected people, especially women and children.
