MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS

July/August 2018, Issue No. 21

© UNHCR/ A. Chnkdji,

In response to the displacements in the Southern Governorates, the shel-

ter sector partners rehabilitated collective shelters and installed shelter

kits, and tents. The shelter response benefited a total of 4,495 IDPs. Most

of the IDPs opted to stay with relatives or on rent until they were able to

return back to their areas of origin.

As of mid-August, out of the eight IDP sites that were occupied by the dis-

placed population from Eastern Ghouta, only four IDP sites are occupied

and remaining four IDP sites have been closed. Out of four IDP sites that

remain occupied, two of them are still occupied by IDPs from Eastern

Ghouta (6,405 IDPs), one IDP site is occupied by IDPs from Foah and

Kafraya (704 IDPs) and remaining one is occupied by IDPs from Rukban

(375 IDPs).

The shelter sector contributed to the formulation of North-West Syria

Readiness Plan. The shelter sector plans to target 155,000 individuals

through a range of shelter activities ranging from installation of shelter kits

to rehabilitation of collective shelters and tents installation. The available

shelter items can meet the shelter needs of 50,000 individuals.

The shelter sector participated in Deir Ez-Zour workshop (23rd to 25th

July) that was organized by MoLAE. The workshop discussed/ identified

the needs and response plan for three cities in the Governorate: Deir Ez-

Zour, Mayadeen, and Bukamal. The Governorate with support from UN-

HABITAT mapped out damages in these cities. Moreover, information on

returnee population and number of people who intend to return in the vari-

ous neighborhoods of these three cities, level of damage of buildings and

infrastructural services in each neighborhood was shared. The planned

response by the shelter sector partners are rehabilitation of damaged

houses, distribution of shelter kits and capacity buildings.

Shelter sector attended a 3 days Gender with Age Marker (GAM) ToT.

The sector plans to organize an orientation session for the shelter sector

partners on the 12th of September. GAM is a new tool that replaces the

gender marker that has been used until last year. The new tool will allow

sector partners to conduct self-evaluation of their project and to measure

how much it accounts for gender and age aspects.

CRISIS BACKGROUND: The crisis in Syrian Arab Republic that

started in March 2011 has transformed into a complex emergency that

has displaced around 6.2 million people in various parts of the country.

As per the 2018 Humanitarian Needs Overview, around 13.1 million

people are in need of humanitarian assistance of which around 4.3

million people are in need of shelter support and other multi-sectorial

assistance as they continue to struggle in an unsafe and uncertain

environment. Due to the protracted nature of the hostilities, many of

both displaced and host communities become more vulnerable and

their ability to cope and find safe and durable shelter solutions have

been greatly affected. The humanitarian community has been

challenged to both provide emergency and life-saving shelter solutions

while building back community cohesion and resilience through

provision of adequate shelter assistance.

PUI Rehabilitation of partially damaged

apartments

Hussain, a 21 years old man from Al Deirkhbiah

town, Rural Damascus governorate and his

family was forced to displace from their

hometown due to the crisis. In 2016, Hussain

lost his parents in a mortar attack while working

in a farm, which force him to discontinue his

education and find work to support himself and

younger siblings. Upon return to his hometown

after the situation improved, he has to work hard

to earn a living and repair his damaged house.

PUI through the rehabilitation of partially

damaged apartments in Dierkhabiah supporting

the returnees better access to safe long-term

shelters that ensures their dignity and safety

and alleviate the burden of renting accommoda-

tion.

Hussain was one of the selected beneficiaries

during the needs assessment for PUI shelter

interventions. Upon rehabilitation of his

apartment, Hussain and his younger siblings will

have a safe and dignified living place.

Access and safety are the key challenges in some

parts of the country as well as partner capacity and

heavy processes along with funding constraints;

Increasing needs, diminishing coping capacities of

both the IDPs and host communities, and limited

financial resources of the government to provide

shelter compensation require sector partners to

scale up operational presence;

Shelter and infrastructure needs are huge and the

Shelter Sector partners collectively do not have

capacity to meet all the needs;

Issues related to the loss of occupancy documents

deprived some population from accessing shelter

supports;

Opportunities for systematic field-based data col-

lection remain very limited due to access or author-

ization restrictions, resulting in incomplete needs

analysis in some areas.
