Year-end Overview
Working environment
The crisis in Syrian Arab Republic (Syria) has had devastating consequences for civilians with nearly half of Syria's pre-crisis population being internally or externally displaced. Currently 13.5 million people in Syria are in need of humanitarian assistance, including nearly three million people living in hard-to-reach and besieged locations. The ceasefire in December 2016 and the Astana talks leading to the establishment of four “de-escalation areas” have yielded a noticeable decrease in armed hostilities, bringing about a renewed hope for a political solution to the crisis and increased access to people in need.An estimated 600,000 IDPs and more than 30,000 refugees spontaneously returned home in the first half of 2017. However, conditions for return in safety and dignity are not yet in place and UNHCR does not promote, nor facilitate, the return of refugees to Syria at this time. UNHCR is enhancing protection and assistance in Syria for those IDPs and refugees who may voluntarily and spontaneously return, as well as continuing its programmes for IDPs and those newly displaced.
The 2018 Humanitarian Needs Overview and Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) are being developed and will set the framework within which the humanitarian community will respond to the large-scale humanitarian needs. Despite the devastating crisis and although the country is not party to the main international refugee instruments, the Government continues to apply favorable policies towards refugees and asylum-seekers.
In the context of the Whole of Syria approach, UNHCR continues to play a key coordination role leading of the Protection/Community Services, Shelter and Non-Food items sectors.
Key priorities
In 2018, UNHCR will focus on:- Providing life-saving assistance to IDPs across the country;
- Engaging the Government in raising protection concerns and finding appropriate solutions and support national counterparts in addressing issues pertaining to civil registration/documentation, as well as Housing, Land, and Property (HLP) rights;
- Enhancing protection through a wide range of integrated community-based protection programmes, with a particular attention to sexual and gender-based violence, child protection, and services for people with specific needs;
- Registration of new asylum-seekers;
- Identifying durable solutions, including resettlement and voluntary repatriation for refugees;
- Providing services in areas of return for the expected self-organized refugee and IDP returnees, while advocating that any returns be safe, dignified, informed, voluntary and sustainable return.
