🔴 Recent developments in #Syria, including the escalation in hostilities, have compounded needs. Since 28 November, around 1 million people – mostly women and children – have been internally displaced from a range of areas. More than 1 in 5 people are facing displacement for at least the second time. Reception centres and shelters are overcrowded, and essential supplies are limited. While emergency aid has been distributed and efforts are underway to improve basic living standards, more tents, food, sanitation and hygiene facilities, along with other core relief items are urgently required. Expanding protection services and health support, especially for those most vulnerable, is vital. Conflict and insecurity have damaged civilian infrastructure and humanitarian assets, and disrupted critical services and transportation routes, limiting the movement of people and goods, as well as impacting the delivery of aid. This is putting further strain on people, including communities hosting displaced families, whose resources have long been depleted, and is pushing an already overstretched and severely underfunded response to its limits. Despite the challenges, the United Nations and partners remain committed to reaching people with life-saving assistance – wherever, whenever and however possible. Learn more ➡️ https://bit.ly/3B7z9hi
