Life-saving response to EQ- Minor Repairs to 130 Damaged Houses in Aleppo and Latakia ltp style="text-align:justify"gtSyria was hit by multiple earthquakes in the
early morning of 6 February 2023. The first one was of a 7.ltspan dir="RTL"gtlt/spangtltspan lang="AR-SA" dir="RTL"gtltspan dir="RTL"gtlt/spangt8lt/spangtltspan dir="LTR"gtlt/spangt
magnitude, followed by a major quake of 7.5 magnitude, and multiple
aftershocks were reported which lasted about 2 days.  Several Syrian governorates
in north, central, and coastal parts were affected, Aleppo being the most
impacted and Lattakia, Tartous, Hama, and Idleb, were also considerably
affected causing both human and material damages with massive destruction of
the residential buildings and basic services infrastructure. lt/pgt

ltpgtThe earthquake aftermath deepened the scale of the catastrophe that Syria is
witnessing and increased the size and severity of the needs, which were already
very huge and critical as a result of the 12 years of war, worsening the
condition of fragile residential buildings and weakening the infrastructure,
whether health or service...etc., all of which exacerbated the already existing
poverty, displacement and pressure on resources that are already scarce.lt/pgt

ltp style="text-align:justify"gtThe residential buildings in the governorates of
Aleppo and Lattakia were the most affected. Many areas of the two governorates
have been affected, forcing tens of thousands of people to flee, leaving their
homes, and going either to overcrowded shelters or staying in some nearby parks,
or going to other governorates where they have some relatives making it
difficult for them to access basic services, increasing the vulnerability of affected
people, especially women, people with disability, girls, boys and elderly and
exposing them to further protection risks.lt/pgt

ltpgtIn response to the critical humanitarian needs arising from the earthquake
and based on the priority allocation of SHF:lt/pgt

ltpgtPriority one: Scaling up the humanitarian response and provision of
lifesaving health services, protection assistance, water, sanitation, and
hygiene support, and shelter assistance to earthquake-affected people, as well
as addressing nutrition, food, and education needs in critically underfunded
areas lt/pgt

ltpgtltbrgt
lt/pgtltpgtThe Trust is planning to assist people affected whose houses were damaged by earthquakes and need minor repairs, the project will be prioritizing the most vulnerable groups according to certain selection criteria that will be listed in detail later in this proposal. The project will provide the necessary assistance to those vulnerable groups to help them respond and fulfill their immediate needs. It will be implemented through contractors: 80 houses in Aleppo, and 50 houses in Lattakia.lt/pgtltpgt lt/pgt

ltpgt lt/pgtltpgt
The project will support the return of affected families to their homes so they can restore their dignified and safe life in their homes, decreasing the pressure on the collective shelter or hosting families given the fact of the current deteriorated economic condition. all of this will be contributing to improving the standard of
living, respecting the dignity of these families, and protecting women, girls, and boys from the risks they may be exposed to. Taking into consideration the
need to obtain legal documents proving the ownership of homes for these
families.lt/pgt

ltpgtThe Syria Trust will adhere to the TWG standards of the shelter sector, in addition to maintaining close coordination with the governmental front, community leaders, and municipalities, to obtain lists of
classified title deed apartments and to ensure the authenticity of property and
tenant records. in addition to relevant key stockholders and humanitarian actors responding on the ground to intervene comprehensively and maximize the project's impact on people's lives.lt/pgt
