Focus Group Discussions (FDG) were held in Mafraq governorate in November 2017 with Syrian refugees as part of UNHCR’s Post Distribution Monitoring efforts. Participants were separated into three different groups (Table 1). Fifty-five percent of the focus group participants were Syrian males and 45% were Syrian females. Across the three FGDs, participants had one overarching concern – shelter. All participants, whether receiving cash assistance or recently cancelled from assistance, were worried about their ability to pay rent and their corresponding fear of eviction. Participants, especially those in the cash receiving group, believed that landlords had raised their rents due to the belief that UNHCR was paying their rent. Participants from all the FGDs called for an increase in cash assistance, for winterization to be provided to all groups, including those in the waiting list, and to have UNHCR assist them in identifying job opportunities.

  Syrian Asylum Applications in Europe


This page is being updated



First time applications for asylum in European countries by Syrians are summarised below. Note that the majority of those who have fled the conflict are hosted in Syria’s neighbouring countries.

In November 2016, the Asylum statistics for Serbia have been updated to show just those applicants that lodged their application. Previously, the only information available was refugees and migrants “intention to seek asylum”, which was significantly higher.

Total Syrian Asylum Applications in Europe

996,204 between Apr 2011 and Oct 2017
137,798 in 2014 only
Note - Data for 37 European countries which provide monthly information to UNHCR. To the extent possible, the figures reflect first time asylum applications, but some of the statistics are likely to include repeated applications (same or different country).
