Syrian Arab Republic: Cross-Border Humanitarian Reach and Activities from Türkiye (November 2022) – Syrian Arab Republic
CONTEXT
Artillery shelling incidents continued most days in November. Several airstrikes were recorded including one which struck in the vicinity of five IDP camps in Idleb, near the Bab Al-Hawa border crossing, resulting in civilian injuries.
4.6 million people in north-west Syria are bracing for another cold winter season of flooding, snowstorms, and unpredictable weather events. 1.8 million people are living in over 1,400 camps and sites “of last resort”, the majority of which lack or have limited access to heating, electricity or water supply. In anticipation of rising needs in winter, the humanitarian community has finalized its Winterization and Flood Preparedness Response Plan in September. According to this plan, US$209.5 million are needed to fund 40 activities to meet the needs of 2.5 million people in north-west Syria this winter.
As of 30 November, 453 cholera cases were recorded in the north-west and 2 death cases were reported in both areas by the end of the month.
