earthquakes caused widespread damage, displacement, loss of life, and basic
service disruption in Northwest Syria. REACH data collected 9-11 February
indicates that communities in earthquake-affected areas most urgently require
winterization, shelter, and multi-purpose cash support. Based on key market
functionality indicators, RNA data indicates that across many earthquake-affected
areas, markets appear to remain resilient for now. However, the situation
remains fluid and may evolve given ongoing access constraints. These findings
must be considered in the context of a highly vulnerable population prior to
the disaster, due to nearly 12 years of conflict, an economic crisis, and an
ongoing cholera outbreak.lt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltp style="" class=""gtltspan style="font-size:8.0pt
