HIGHLIGHT
The scale, severity and complexity of humanitarian needs in the Syrian Arab Republic remain vast. More than 11 million people (4.8 million children) need assistance and 6.1 million people are internally displaced (2.5 million children).
Ongoing hostilities have caused multiple displacements, and the socioeconomic impacts of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are hitting families and children extremely harshly.
In 2021, UNICEF will provide life-saving services to children and families and apply a specific multi-sector systems strengthening approach through its partners and field offices.
UNICEF will address the specific needs of girls, boys, adolescents, women and men using a conflict-sensitive approach, emphasizing accountability to affected populations, and focusing on the prevention of gender-based violence and sexual exploitation.
UNICEF needs $ 330.8 million to reach the children of the Syrian Arab Republic with humanitarian assistance in 2021. This includes significant funding needs for health, nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), education and child and social protection.
