2017 Humanitarian Needs Overview: Syrian Arab Republic

More than five years after the start of the conflict, intense hostilities persist across many parts of Syria. Parties to the conflict continue to commit violations of international humanitarian and international human rights law. Economic collapse continues to drive the immense humanitarian crisis across the country.

This document is produced on behalf of the Strategic Steering Group (SSG) and humanitarian partners working under the Whole of Syria (WoS) framework. It provides the SSG's shared understanding of the crisis, including the most pressing humanitarian needs and estimated number of people who need assistance. While this provides a consolidated evidence base that helps inform joint strategic planning, many of the figures provided throughout the document are estimates based on sometimes incomplete and partial methodologies.
