EQ Phase 1: Providing Emergency Shelter Services in Kelly Community - Maaret Tamsrin Sub-district ltpgtA magnitude 7.7 earthquake hit Southern Turkey and Northern Syria in February 2023, resulting in over 4,400 deaths and 8,000 injuries. At least 1,600 buildings completely collapsed, and over 7,500 others were partially destroyed. The earthquake damaged over 55 healthcare facilities, leaving many civilians with psychological trauma.ltbrgtThe disaster exacerbated the already dire humanitarian situation in north-west Syria, with 4.1 million people in need of assistance and 2.8 million people IDPs. The most pressing of needs is shelters.ltbrgtIdentifying the need, HA opened its Al-Zohoor IDP Site (Kelly, Maaret Tamsrin) to survivors of the disaster on February 10, 2023, despite the planned date was April the 1st, 2023. The site currently offers 1,000 shelter units, that have living space of 18 m2, individual kitchen (7,6m2) and WC (2,6 m2) facilities, water tanks, electric circuit, and gardens (6m2). Each shelter is also connected to a used water disposal infrastructure. All shelters and aforementioned features are fully funded and constructed by HA with a project budget exceeding 2 million USD.ltbrgtAs mentioned, the site was already being prepared pre-earthquake, and has been carefully planned to meet all Sphere standards in shelter, protection, and other sectors, ensuring that residents have access to safe and comfortable living conditions. However, some of the components have not been built yet, although their space is reserved in the site plan (please see attached). In this proposal, HA is seeking to apply for one of the most essential components, road leveling and graveling that will help the survivors as well as supply vehicles to easily inside the site, avoid potential floods from hampering transportation.ltbrgtAs the components of the site are below with their status:ltbrgt1000x Shelter units (Functional, funded by HA)ltbrgtSewage System ~4560 meters (Functional, funded by HA)ltbrgtA Primary Healthcare Center (Under Construction, funded by TRC)ltbrgtMain roads and Sub-roads levelling and graveling (40,000 Square meters, need fund and proposed in this document)ltbrgtRoad lightening (176 lightening points, need fund and proposed in this document)ltbrgt*Topographic survey plans, and BoQs prepared by HA engineers are attached for the proposed activities.ltbrgtThrough this intervention, Human Appeal proposes the implementation of road levelling and graveling, as well as road lighting. The project aims to improve road safety and accessibility at Al Zohoor IDP site, and to create a more suitable environment for internally displaced persons. By implementing these measures, HA seeks to improve living conditions and quality of life for at-risk populations in the area.ltbrgtThe project will provide shelters for 1,000 displaced families (5,464 individuals) affected by the recent earthquake (1,475 girls, 1,546 boys, 1,247 women, and 1,196 men), including 154 individuals with disabilities. Additionally, HA will provide and distribute NFI kits to the targeted IDP site through its own internal funding mechanism. lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe roads levelling and graveling will ensure that the roads are safe and suitable for moving in the site, while the roads lighting will increase visibility and provide greater security for IDPs, particularly during evening hours.ltbrgtThis will create a more suitable environment for benefiting the IDPs affected by the recent earthquake. The proposed intervention will include the excavation of 13,200 cubic meters of soil and rocks (Approximatly) to reach a suitable road level, which will be determined by site engineering calculations and topographic survey plans to ensure the roads will not be affected by potential floods.ltbrgtGraveling will then be applied to provide a stable surface for vehicles and pedestrians, with an estimated quantity of 6,000 cubic meters of gravel needed. In addition, street lighting will be installed along the length of the roads to increase visibility and provide greater security, with an estimated number of 176 lighting points.ltbrgtlt/pgt
