As of the third quarter of 2024, the needs of Syrians and host communities are higher than ever, particularly in light of widespread economic collapse, the cumulative impact of nearly 14 years of conflict, climate-related challenges, natural disasters, and various other socio-political factors.

Despite the continuing efforts of humanitarian actors, the Syria crisis remains one of the world’s most complex humanitarian and protection emergencies. In 2024, 16.7 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance — the highest number since the onset of the crisis in 2011. This includes more than 8 million women and girls, around 4 million of whom are of reproductive age. Meanwhile, more than 6 million Syrian refugees remain displaced in five neighbouring countries – Türkiye, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt, nearly half of whom are women and girls.

This report offers a bird’s eye view of UNFPA’s operations within the context of the Syria crisis. The report is prepared by the UNFPA Regional Humanitarian Hub for Syria and the Arab States (The Hub) in Amman, and spans operations led by UNFPA offices in Türkiye, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt, in addition to the Whole of Syria (operations led inside Syria, both from Damascus and cross-border via Gaziantep, Türkiye).

With the exception of data on service delivery points, the quantitative data presented in this report is cumulative, covering achievements made between January 2024 and the end of the reporting quarter.
