Vast distances and localized insecurity make road travel between Damascus (located in south-western Syria)
and the northern areas of the country difficult, time-consuming, and potentially dangerous. Additionally, many
humanitarian organizations are not permitted to use commercial flights in Syria.
The United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) fills this critical gap by providing regular return flights
between Damascus and Qamishli (Al-Hasakeh governorate, the location of the United Nations hub in north-eastern
Syria) and between Damascus and Aleppo (Aleppo governorate, north-western Syria). The flights carry humanitarians,
diplomats, and donors as well as critical cargo. Despite its critical role in enabling life-saving assistance, UNHAS Syria is significantly underfunded with a funding gap of US 2.4 million until the end of 2023. Unless additional resources are identified, UNHAS Syria will not be able to sustain operations past July 2023, with all services grounded indefinitely until new funds are identified. At a time when WFP is facing unprecedented funding shortfalls, WFP is unable to prioritize flexible funding to support UNHAS and urgently requires support from the SHF pooled funds. ltbrgtlt/pgt
Providing emergency livelihood support to local shops and businesses affected by earthquakes in Aleppo and Lattakia governorates (Priority 2) ltpgtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gtBased on the location need assessment, the coordination
with stakeholders at the ground, PUI’s ongoing earthquake response in the
affected governorates of Aleppo and Lattakia, and aligned on the ERL Sector’s
strategy, the proposed project aims at supporting the longer term livelihood
recovery process for the earthquake-affected people in Lattakia and Aleppo
Governorates.lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltpgtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gtPUI proposes to complement its ongoing multi-sectoral
activities (Shelter, FSL, WASH, Education) with additional emergency livelihood
activities as part of early recovery efforts to facilitate the restoration of
Livelihood through the restoration of job opportunities for affected households
in Lattakia and Aleppo governorates. PUI will enhance the recovery and
resilience of earthquake-affected people by providing 180 kits (80 in Aleppo
and 100 in Lattakia). These kits will target people with businesses, shops, and
food processing affected by the recent earthquake. These kits will provide people
with the means to re-start small businesses damaged by the earthquake. The
overall project aim is to help affected people through the restoration of their
damaged businesses, generate income, become self-sufficient, and contribute to
the local economy.lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltpgtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gtThe intervention will
assist a total of 180 families (900 individuals) direct beneficiaries in the
targeted vulnerable areas. But the indirect beneficiaries will be the large
number of people who will get benefits from the restored business in the area
where they live.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgt
Hot meals ltpgtProviding hot meals: This activity is important for providing daily meals to families due to the difficulty of cooking food for those affected by the earthquake, in addition to the spread of poverty and unemployment for those affected by the earthquake and those residing in shelters. Therefore, this activity is considered an urgent necessity and the most appropriate for the current period to enhance the food security of the families affected by the disaster over a period of two months. The distribution will take place inside the approved shelters in the operations room in Aleppo governorate, in addition to focusing heavily on the people affected by the earthquake. The food will be cooked in Al Ihsan Charity Kitchen in Karm Al Jabal and Siskoon. There is a clear plan to control the quality of meals. Hot food and its distribution mechanism in 17 shelters within a qualified team for the distribution process. The purchase will be made daily according to the needs of the kitchen by the purchase committee of Al Ihsan Charity Association.ltbrgtWe confirm that Al-Ihsan Charity Association has the ability to cover other beneficiaries from other funds as agreed with the sector.ltbrgtlt/pgt
improving access to Basic education services for the most vulnerable children and children with disabilities in the areas effected by the earthquake ltpgtltpgtltspangtIn
six months TDH, in collaboration with the MOE, will
do the light rehabilitation  light repair of save spaces within
3 targeted schools in Aleppo and 4 targeted schools in Lattakia. Moreover, TDH,
in tight coordination with the MoE and following its urgent request, will also
conduct trainings sessions for 100 MoE staff (50 in Aleppo  50 in
Lattakia) on life-saving to school-age children attending formal 
non-formal education (disaster management training in addition to Disability
inclusion). Once the 100 educational staff from the MoE will be trained, they
will further benefit around 20 children each for a total of 1000 indirect
beneficiaries in their schools, lt/spangtltspangtlt/spangtlt/pgt

ltpgtltspangtThis
project is part of TDH’s Earthquake Response Program. TDH has significant
experience implementing such projects. The implementation process involves
several steps. Firstly, TDH conducted field visits to schools affected by the
earthquake. Schools were selected based on the national plan for supporting
education after the earthquake, which was developed by the Ministry of
Education (MoE). TDH has supported this plan since the beginning of the
response. The organization identified the necessary work for each school and
obtained initial approval from the MoE to access and begin work. After project
approval, TDH will start the procurement process based on its procurement
procedure. TDH maintains a long list of trusted and qualified vendors, and the
procurement unit updates this list regularly. The organization will start the
procurement process to avoid any delays and begin rehabilitating the schools.lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltpgtltspangtIn terms of capacity building, TDH has
experienced trainers who are already working on training outlines in close
coordination with the MoE. The goal is to ensure that all necessary skills are
addressed in the training. The training preparation will take one month to
prepare for all logistical issues, while the MoE will nominate educational
personnel and teachers based on selection criteria to ensure that the project
targets the right people. The selection criteria will include educational staff
from senior management responsible for shelter management, frontlines in the
schools, psychological counselors in each school, and considerations for gender, age, and diversity. Capacity building
will have pre and post-tests to ensure that all participants have a unified
knowledge of disaster management and can conduct awareness sessions on
life-saving messages for children. After that TdH in coordination with DoE will
work on providing Recreational activities in the targeted schools by the teachers
of the schools that we will target for the purpose of enhancing the well-being of
the students lt/spangtlt/pgt

Life-saving WASH response to earthquake affected communities in Aleppo and Lattakia governorates. ltp class="" style=""gtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gtThe earthquake affected the already fragile conflict-affected water and sanitation infrastructures, with reports of damage and collapse of water reservoirs, water towers, water stations, networks and of sanitation facilities and systems. To address these issues, Oxfam has designed this 6-month intervention to provide immediate life-saving assistance to earthquake affected populations and, in the process, prevent and control the spread of water-borne diseases. Under Output 1.1, the project will restore access to equitable and safe water resources for 126,000 earthquake affected individuals. This will be achieved by (1) providing OM materials to the LWE, ultimately serving 102,000 people in Qteilbiyyeh and Ein Elsharqiyeh sub-districts of Lattakia (2) rehabilitating WASH facilities in 5 schools in Lattakia ultimately supporting 2,500 children (3) Rehabilitating two elevated tanks in Tall Hadiah and Rasm Eies communities in Jebel Samaan sub-district, serving 6,500 people (4) Rehabilitating 1 ground water tank and 1 elevated tank in Nabul community of Jebel Samaan sub-district, serving 15,000 people. Moreover, under output 1.2 the project provides access to hygiene supplies and improves hygienic behaviors and practices to prevent public health risks to  23,810 people. This will be achieved by (1) conducting hygiene promotion in communities targeted under Output 1.1 with hard WASH rehabilitation and (2) provision of hygiene kits to the same communities' members through blanket distributions  Overall the project will support 126,000 people single count. This intervention is in alignment with the allocation strategy as it will support addressing WASH needs associated with the earthquake. It also contributes to the larger Oxfam in Syria Earthquake Response Plan targeting 400,000 individuals in the first 6 months phase. Oxfam has established an office in Aleppo and field teams in Lattakia that enable the team to coordinate at both operational and technical level with other humanitarian actors. Oxfam has created a dedicated EQ response team in Aleppo, Hama, Idleb and Lattakia led by a Response and Deputy Response Lead from Oxfam’s Global Humanitarian Team. Oxfam has also a pool of Field Support Personnel (FSPs) and site engineers who are field based to support the program delivery. Oxfam works with these flexible resources to scale up and scale down where we have community mobilization, or other activities for short term. Full support teams are at the hubs level and the operations in full are being managed and operated at the hubs level, with support from the Country Office. The teams include Finance, Logs teams, HR, Admin, and security. Oxfam will directly implement this response.ltbrgtlt/spangtlt/pgt
Education in Emergency Response to the children and teachers affected by the earthquake in Aleppo ltp class="" style=""gtThe project aims at contributing to the restoration
of access to protective and quality education opportunities and to the improvement of well-being of children affected by the earthquake in Aleppo. To do this, the action
will (1) Support a safe resumption of learning for children in Jabel Samaan
through minor rehabilitation/light repairs of schools and provision of catch-up
classes and (2) Improve well-being, increase SEL and deliver life-saving
messages to children in Jabel Samaan sub-district. ltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtThe resumption of learning will be promoted
through the minor rehabilitation and light repair of 9 pre-identified
schools, according to the needs identified through a technical assessment. Without
such repair, many of these schools will not be able to open in the next school
year, forcing a high number of children either to stay out of school or in
overcrowded learning environments, which will negatively impact the quality of
their education. Moreover, schools will be provided with evacuation plans,
safety equipment, school furniture and teaching materials (School-in-a-Box
kits) upon need. Thanks to this activity, 8,000 children will be consequently
able to enroll in the rehabilitated schools in the 2023/2024 school year. In order
to fill the learning gap and emotional impact that the earthquake and its
consequences have caused, 5 summer clubs will be set up and catch-up classes, edutainment
and recreational activities will be held there for three months. 760 children in
grades 2 to 6 will attend the clubs. The clubs will be equipped with the
necessary material, including recreational kits that contain toys, sports
items, and art supplies. To ensure quality education and safe support to
children, a 9-day training for 100 teachers working in the summer clubs will be
held with the collaboration of SARC and the DoE on quality and inclusive
education, socio-emotional learning and life skills. As part of the training, teachers
will benefit from PSS sessions. The training will also include sessions on earthquake
and emergency safe behaviour and life-saving messages on hygiene promotion. After the training, teachers will be able to raise awareness on these topics in the summer clubs, also
through evacuation simulations. Moreover, two campaigns are included in the project. A first campaign on PSS will be held in the summer in collaboration with SARC in the
communities where target schools are located, with the aim of strengthening an environment
of post-earthquake resilience in the same area. A second and last campaign will be conducted at the beginning of the school year in each rehabilitated
school. The campaign, which will also be held in collaboration with SARC, will include awareness raising on earthquake and
emergency safe behaviours and the dissemination of related posters and
brochures for the children’s familieslt/spangt. The target of the two campaigns is 8,000

Strengthening Social Protection in Masmiyyeh, Dar’a ltpgtThrough studying the target community and working with focus groups, there are many of the target segment who are exposed to the risk of protection, including exploitation, harassment, child labor, and early marriage for girls. It is noteworthy that there is no type of protection awareness whatsoever, whether a community center or private awareness sessions within School clusters, as there are no experienced specialists in this field, in addition to the fact that they are among the fragile and marginalized communities.ltbrgtIn this context, the work team also went to educational gatherings, and it was confirmed by school principals that there are children from the target segment, males and females, who are exposed to the risk of protection in all its forms, and some of them are exposed to gender-based violence due to family separation and the lack of a caregiver to guide the child in the correct behavior, so the intervention is based on the need and spreading awareness among the target group and the caregiver as well through trained, equipped and specialized teams, where the intervention for protection will be in two parts:ltbrgt1- Distribution of winter clothing rations to protect against the cold of winternbsplt/pgtltpgt2- Distribution of hygiene kitsnbspltbrgt3- Protection activities, psychological support and case management.ltbrgtlt/pgt
Catalyzing Empowerment: Strengthening Livelihoods and Well-being for Vulnerable Communities ltpgtVulnerable groups, specifically women, girls, and children, are in dire need during the winter season, necessitating immediate and high-quality interventions to deliver comprehensive services in protection,  and livelihood support across various levels. These groups are experiencing an increasing demand to enhance their economic prospects due to a significant proportion of female-headed households in Qamishli, a substantial influx of youth migration, and escalating living costs, which have underscored the imperative for multiple income sources within a single family.ltbrgtFurthermore, these vulnerable groups require specialized, awareness-raising initiatives, the combating against GBV, and the provision of essential supplies, . The main objective of the project is to establish a "safe and supportive environment" for women and girls, ensuring their access to a secure space conducive to improving their livelihoods. . The project aims to support individuals with the necessary resources and supplies following training, in alignment with a sustainable economic vision.ltbrgtThe livelihoods sector was chosen to complement the protection sector, as this will enhance families’ recovery from poverty and help them in their daily lives, so that people can cover their living needs. We chose to support these projects based on interviews conducted with them (in Qamishli - Tal Hamis), where it became clear that they have limited expertise that must be developed within a scientific curriculum through the Safe Spaces Center, so people with a good reputation will be selected from vulnerable groups (families headed by women). , orphans, people with disabilities, abused women, and survivors of gender-based violence) who committed to the training, passed the tests, and underwent interviews. The survey team studied the project and evaluated the economic feasibility in the proposed area, and accordingly, they will be given professional portfolios in sewing, mobile phone maintenance, and women’s barbering.ltbrgtAdditionally, the project strives to provide winterized dignity kit forwomen , enabling them to navigate their daily routines during the cold season, designed to promote mental and physical well-being. Furthermore, the project envisions a safe and supportive space for children under the age of six, with a particular focus on unaccompanied children, orphans, and individuals with disabilities.ltbrgtThe primary activities of the project includes vocational training, as well as providing spaces for physical fitness, computer proficiency, sewing, and mobile phone maintenance, among others.ltbrgtPSS will be offered through group sessions aimed at providing assistance and guidance. The project will also address gender-based violence by offering support to survivors and promoting awareness through mobile teams, which will engage with communities in Qamishli and its environs.ltbrgtThe project's scope extends to  Qamishli ,Tal Hamis and its surroundings, ltbrgtlt/pgt
Mitigate the impact of winter conditions on 124 families in Aleppo And Rural Damascus (Sub Objective 2). ltpgtIn light of the war that Syria witnessed in the conflict areas, it led to
