SPAIN FOR UNHCR

Syria is currently experiencing a crucial turning point in its recent history after the fall of the Al-Assad regime, with many challenges still ahead. Nearly 14 years of conflict have left 7 million people internally displaced and 16 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. In the aftermath of recent events, one million people have been displaced, most of them women and children. In addition, since September, half a million people have crossed from Lebanon to escape Israel's bombardment. With an increasing number of Syrian refugee families returning to the country with minimal resources and winter further complicating the situation, immediate assistance is urgently needed to protect them. It is estimated that more than 8,000 additional emergency kits containing medicines, clean water, food and basic items are needed to be urgently distributed to the displaced. In addition, there is an urgent need for more shelters and repair of damaged houses.
