As fighting is in its tenth year, the scale, severity, and complexity of humanitarian needs remain extensive. The conflict has resulted in an estimated 11.1 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. Access to healthcare has been severely restricted due to a deterioration in the functionality of medical equipment. This deterioration results from a lack of maintenance and a lack of medical supplies resulting from the conflict.
In addition to this, more than 6.7 million Syrians have become refugees, with a similar number internally displaced. Internally displaced persons (IDPs) in north-western Syria face horrific conditions in camps, advances by Syrian government forces, and limited access to food and medicine. Syrian refugees have primarily fled to neighbouring Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, and Iraq throughout the conflict – exacerbating already struggling healthcare and welfare systems throughout the region.
