CA-3-D002263001 2026-06-07T06:33:05 October 2015 - The humanitarian situation in Syria continues to deteriorate as a result of the civil war and intensified violence in the country. The United Nations estimates that 12.2 million people inside Syria, including 5.6 million children, are in need of humanitarian assistance. Combined with over 4 million Syrians seeking refuge from the conflict in neighbouring countries, this is the largest number of people displaced from conflict in the world. Women and children are particularly vulnerable to the consequences of the conflict and host countries are increasingly overstretched by the influx of people fleeing the conflict. With DFATD's support, this project is providing water, sanitation, hygiene, and winter items to up to 48,000 conflict-affected people in southern Syria. Project activities include: (1) distributing 3,500 emergency water kits, hygiene kits, and 2,625 infant-hygiene kits; (2) providing emergency hygiene facilities, specifically latrines for up to 5,000 internally displaced persons or people living in temporary accommodation; and (3) distributing winter kits to up to 48,000 people.
