Torrential rain, snow storms and flooding hit the Middle East during the month of January, creating more difficulties for millions of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the region.

UNHCR staff worked around the clock to help people endure the cold freezing temperatures by delivering emergency supplies including cash vouchers to help the most vulnerable refugees purchase needed items, as well as provision of fuel, stoves, blankets and weatherproofing kits.

UNHCR’s regional winter plan for the Syria situation will address the winter needs of 2.7 million Syrians (1.6 million refugees and 1 million IDPs). As of 20 January, UNHCR has distributed winter core relief items to more than 600,000 Syrian refugees in the region and over 700,000 IDPs in Syria. Additional cash assistance for the winter months was provided to almost 1 million Syrian refugees.

Damascus, Rural Damascus, Hama, Al-Hasakeh, Quneitra, Dar’a, Tartous and Lattakia governorates were assisted with winter supplementary items (not all beneficiaries were assisted with the entire winter package as beneficiaries are assisted only with the required items). Although the target for winter support provided from inside Syria remains 750,000 individuals (150,000 families), due to the emerging needs in hard-to-reach and besieged areas, UNHCR has decided to make additional 50,000 kits of winter clothing available. Furthermore, families living in skeleton buildings and other sub-standard shelters in Aleppo were provided with additional sleeping bags and winterized shelter kits.
