Item (SNFI) Sector estimates that approximately 2.7 million people have been
affected by the earthquakes in the Government-controlled areas in Syria, of

life-saving core relief items (CRIs) to the families affected by the earthquakes
in Jabal Saman, Aleppo Governorate and Latakia City, Latakia Governorate
including female-headed households, older persons without family support, and people
with specific needs, including those with disabilities.lt/spangt ltspan style="line-height: 107%"gtIn
Latakia, as of end of March, around 49,100 households (245,450 individuals)
were displaced within the governorate and in pressing needs of relief items.
Among those individuals, only 4,400 households (22,800 individuals) received CRI
support from UNHCR and partners. Meanwhile, in Aleppo, UNHCR and partners
reached approximately 59,300 families (295,000 individuals) with CRI support in
different collective shelters and local communities, among an estimated number
of 72,600 families (363,000 individuals) in need of assistance.lt/spangtlt/pgt





ltp style="" class="MsoNormal"gtltspan style="line-height: 107%"gtIn line with the
Shelter and Non-Food Item (SNFI) sector strategic response to provide
life-saving SNFI support to people whose houses have been destroyed/damaged by
the earthquakes, UNHCR will be targeting those who are displaced and living
either in collective shelters, rental accommodation or being hosted by local
communities. lt/spangtlt/pgtltp style="" class="MsoNormal"gtltspan style="line-height: 107%"gtUNHCR will also
apply a geographic prioritization criteria to select beneficiaries, as per the
following: (1) prioritization of most vulnerable sub-districts/ locations (2)
prioritization of locations that have never received CRIs assistance
previously. The vulnerability criteria will also be applied during the
implementation of this project, and assistance will be firstly provided to single
women heads of households unaccompanied and separated children elderly
people and people with disabilities. Through due consideration of
vulnerabilities of people in need, UNHCR aims at reducing their
vulnerabilities, mitigating the negative impact of the deteriorating
socioeconomic situation in the country, and enhancing their resilience in the
aftermath of the earthquakes.lt/spangtlt/pgtltp style="" class="MsoNormal"gtltspan style="line-height: 107%"gtWithin the proposed
project, UNHCR is planning to provide 1,211 CRI kits in Jabal Saman, Aleppo
Governorate and 1,211 CRI kits in Latakia City, Latakia Governorate,
benefitting an estimated 12,110 people in these locations. The CRI package for
a family of five includes three mattresses, five blankets, one kitchen set, two
jerry cans, one plastic sheet, three sleeping matts and one solar lamp.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt

ltspan style="line-height: 107%"gtTo ensure timely distribution of CRIs to people
affected by the earthquake and avoid any delays, UNHCR will release the items
from its existing stocks for the distribution in parallel with procurement of
CRIs for replenishment. lt/spangt
