Humanitarian assistance to meet the basic needs of Palestine refugees from hard to reach areas The basic needs of Palestine refugees in Syria continue to deepen, and due to underfunding UNRWA was only able to provide three rounds of cash assistance throughout 2015, covering just six months of needs. This included refugees in hard to reach locations. The Agency undertook a verification exercise in tandem with the second round of cash assistance, and found that out of the total population which remains in Syria, more than 95 percent are in need of assistance. 
UNRWA proposes to distribute cash to approximately 29,205 refugees from hard to reach areas, which currently include Qudsayya, Khan Eshieh and Ramadan Camp in the greater Damascus area, as well as Mzeirib, Jillien and other villages around Dera’a. Each refugee will receive USD 64 to support food (USD 40), shelter and NFI (USD 24) needs for two months.
Palestine refugees rely heavily on UNRWA for basic services and humanitarian assistance. Cash assistance continues to be the most appropriate form of assistance to refugees as it enables each family to cope with their most pressing needs, as they receive the assistance. In the above hard to reach areas, it remains relevant while food is available on open markets and where crossing front lines with cash presents fewer issues than carrying in-kind items. 
UNRWA distributes cash through a total of 35 distribution points, including bank branches, money transfer outlets and one UNRWA facility. Refugees are able to cross front-lines to collect assistance from these nearby locations. Verification, monitoring and post-distribution mechanisms are well-established and the latest evaluation of the programme found that cash is the preferred distribution method for more than 95% of the population.
Life saving Food Provision  in Southern and Eastern Aleppo's countryside After an up to date assessment, MSJM wants to provide 5000 x 2 months food distribution and 5 days a week locally cooked meals x 2 months  to IDP's and hosting community in the eastern and southern countryside of Aleppo that received during the events of July-August 2016 a new flow of IDP's deprived of everything that are hosted by an already deprived hosting community.  The distribution will be done following our assessment and a good transport and distribution logistics with 50 volunteers duly trained, in the following locations: al-Nayrab – al-Nayrab’s camp - Jibreen – Tel-Hasel – Tel Shgheib – Tel arn –Kweires and surrounds – Al Dhahabiyeh – Al-Kahlidiyeh – Al-Waddaihi - Al Hadir – Al Sfira and surrounds  – Rayyan – Blat – Sis – and surrounds.  Those areas can be considered nowadays hard to reach areas until amelioration of the situation.
Distributing Children Clothing Kits Most families living in shelters and other means of living for IDPs in Homs governorate lack the proper kind of clothing due to the high prices of basic goods and the decrease of their incomes.  Also, the people in hosting areas are affected by the general condition and are in need for support. With the coming of new season, children need clothes due to the fact that they are growing.
Inshaat Association will distribute clothing kits for children (winter clothes and underwear in different sizes) in Homs city and its rural areas.
Provide quality education to the most vulnerable through alternative education As a result of the chronological and geographical extension of the war in Syrian since 5 years, many children and adolescents have not been able to reintegrate into the schooling system or reintegrate it successfully, and will need to have educational support and alternative education sessions.
SSSD, through the educational program, provide effective educational programming for “at-risk” children who are in the age of school (5-17 years). 
Under this program SSSD applies:
1. Remedial classes: This collective activity targets the regular students who are in school (5-17 years) by providing an assistant in their school lessons.
2. Tutoring: This individual activity targets the most vulnerable regular student who are in school
3. InFormal (alternative) education (IFE) to drop outs and at-risk children
4. Registration support to drop outs to reintegrate the schooling system 
5. distribution of school and learning support supplies
6. The development of IFE as an alternative educational model with MOE
SSSD alternative education model combats the factors hindering the progress of these school-aged, gets struggling students back on track toward high school graduation, and creates a positive school culture proven to transform at-risk students and schools.
SSSD works to restoring the drop-outs children to the education and to reintegration to the regular classes through the Informal education program (IFE). SSSD uses the Participatory Learning Methodology (PLM) which allows the drop-out to develop their learning capabilities and critical thinking that will enable them to go back to learning and eventually be mainstreamed in the schooling system.
This IFE model implemented by SSSD is being taken one step further with MOE to use it as a model for alternative education, developing legal frameworks, criteria, guidelines and measurement tools.
Shelter Solutions in Unfinished and damaged buildings and increased access to water supply and improved community sanitation in Rural Damascus This project aims to respond to essential needs for llife-sustaining shelter solutions for the most vulnerable IDP families and provision of basic WASH services in Dharet Artous, which hosts 15,000 IDPs. 
Medair proposes to increase the project scope to include the community of Madamiyet Elsham, Rural Damascus, which is made up of IDPs, returnees and residents.

 The project will reach  900  families with shelter/NFI interventions for the most vulnerable - those living in completely unfinished buildings 
 The project will also undertake 2 community level WASH projects - to increase water supply that currently barely reaches Sphere Standard and address a dire situation in community sanitation

The first targeted area is Dharet Artous, a marginalized suburb of Artous that is in fact an enclave geographically within Rural Damascus Governorate but administered by Quneitra Governorate due to the area of origin of the population and its IDPs. Needs were identified by SARC and the Quneitra Directorate of Water and have been verified by Medair through direct site visits for further assessment and collaboration with the local municipality and the Artous water unit. 

The additional proposed target area is Madamiyet Elsham, also within Rural Damascus. The area was militarily encircled / besieged until 2016 , sustaining heavy shelling during the period since 2012 and many houses are damaged. While officially now considered accessibleopen, in  practical terms it practically remains difficult to access (with several strict checkpoints). 


The total project is 615K USD of which 200K USD has been committed by Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC), an existing donor on other Medair Syria projects. The request to SHF for 415K will provide the co-funding that SDC require. 

To date Medair Syria have directly implemented infrastructure projects in primary healthcare clinics (belonging to Ministry of Health) in various districts of Rural Damascus, and have successfully undertaken urban water supply rehabilitation projects in Artous, Yabroud and have ongoing in other locations in Rural Damascus. These will be handed over to DoWSAA. This project will similarly be directly implemented by Medair. A previous water project in Artous was the basis for exposing the significant needs in the marginalised suburb of Dharet Artous.
Emergency WASH intervention for conflict-affected population in Aleppo Given the escalation of conflict within Aleppo City over the past months, increased movements of the populations, and frequent disruptions to the water supply network, PUI will implement an emergency WASH project prioritizing life-saving needs of the populations residing Jebel Saman, Western Aleppo complementing ongoing humanitarian interventions through the daily provision of safe drinking water – ensuring gt20L/person/day, along with improving vulnerable households accessibility through the distribution of household level water tanks. 

Due to the evolution of the context within Aleppo City, PUI will continue to respond in terms of life-saving water supply, while expanding the scope of the intervention to respond through WASH infrastructure projects targeting returnee populations in newly accessible neighborhoods in Aleppo.
Distribution of bread to people in need in Syria SARC will continue  the distribution  of Bread  as part of  the overall objective to fill the gap of bread to families affected by the on-going situation in Syria to provide the essential food substance to the Syrian population affected by the crisis, and enhance their nutritional share of food. The Syrian population are relying on the bread as their essential food to provide them the energy to survive, and cut off their starving.
Providing life-sustaining assistance and protection to vulnerable families of Damascus Southern Suburbs The proposed Action falls within the framework of the relief and protection programme started at the end of 2012 by Armadilla, in close cooperation with the local association Zahret Al Madaen, in favour of conflict-afflicted vulnerable communities of Damascus Southern Suburbs.
The Project aims at providing life-sustaining assistance and protection to 620 displaced and host community families in Damascus Southern Suburbs. It meets the humanitarian needs of conflict-affected people who are daily struggling for survival and are not able to satisfy the basic needs, due to their condition of displacement, reduced income and soaring prices. Across the humanitarian intervention, the Project integrates gender, protection mainstreaming and resilience, since it promotes child protection activities through assisting women in fostering resilience processes of their children.
The beneficiaries of the Project are 620 of the most vulnerable families attending the ZAM Centre in Midan. Among them, 71% are IDPs, 22% Refugees and 7% Hosting families/poor families attending the Centre activities. 
The most vulnerable families that will receive assistance by the project, are the ones with a prevalence of children, youngsters or other members of the family with people affected by different disabilities and suffering from chronic diseases. Many families are headed by breadwinners who have lost their jobs or newly widowed women who lost their husbands. The initial conditions of poverty, low income, scarce access to basic services, of these families have been further aggravated by the negative impact of the conflict, as a consequence of displacement, loss of job, increasing prices, human losses. They actually need urgent life-saving support and adequate assistance to prevent the existing vulnerabilities from further deteriorating.
Among the different needs arisen during the periodical assessments made by Armadilla and ZAM, the Organisations decide to concentrate the efforts in assistance the families through the distribution of food parcels, considering the high level of food insecurity registered in the zone. 
Moreover, the project will keep continuing in implementing psychosocial activities with women and girls, considering the high value of those also in terms of cost/effectiveness. In this project, beneficiaries that feel the needs of it, will attend individual sessions with the Armadilla’s Counsellor and group of women/girls will attend specific group sessions for receiving  Psychological First-Aid sessions that can be reproduced in the future with other groups. Moreover, the expert conducting the training will choose four persons from the two first groups trained on the PFA under the monitoring of the expert, they that will be able in giving the same training to other groups, in order to replicate at cascade the impact of the activity on more and more women and girls of the community.
Reinforcement and improvement of the psychological wellbeing of WMGB trough structured and comprehensive PSS, capacity building and community inclusiveness This intervention is inserted in the framework  of the strategic objectives 1 and 2 of the HRP 2016 and is designed to complement the efforts of the Protection sector in Syria. This project aims to contribute to the reinforcement and improvement of the psychological wellbeing of WMGB through structured and comprehensive PSS, capacity building, awareness campaign and referral mechanism. The project targets mainly IDPs in need of protection in Lattakia and Homs for a total amount of 2,529 beneficiaries. This intervention will be implemented in partnership with SARC.The project plans to provide structured PSS to those in need, referral, capacity building activities to both SARC volunteers and community members and vocational trainings
Prevention of Acute malnutrition and Micronutrient Deficiencies in Vulnerable Children 6-23 months Provision of fortified lipid based nutrient supplements (Plumpy Doz) to children 6-59 months of food insecure and vulnerable families receiving WFP general food distribution inside Syria in selected governorates.
Providing the complementary pieces for the emergency surgical operations and keeping life The crisis in Syria generally and in Aleppo especially has resulted in damaging a lot of people with serious injuries in their bodies and has affected their health status this has reflected on increasing the urgent need for the emergency surgical operations. Although the governmental sector and the charity associations have supported most of these cases, this support is limited to the low-cost operations and doesn't include all surgical operations which are in need for expensive complementary pieces (such as: metal plates and their needed supplements and fixation tools for the fractures operations and bones crash resulting from the buildings destructions and shrapnel). Due to the lack of most of the patients' ability to provide these pieces, and the lack of providing these pieces by the governmental hospitals in a way that meets the demand, the need for providing these pieces has appeared in order to enable the mentioned target group to get the surgical operation and its requirements to keep their lives from death or permanent disabilities. The project objective is to support the patients of the emergency and life-keeping operations to have the needed surgical operations conducted especially for the affected people from the crisis, through providing the needed complementary pieces for these surgical operations.
Improving access to life-saving and essential health services in HTR and underserved areas Through this project, WHO aims to strengthen the provision of life-saving trauma care and surgical interventions as well as life-sustaining PHC to alleviate the burden of chronic disease, mental illnesses, malnutrition and vaccine-preventable illnesses through supporting outreach health services provided by NGOs. In particular, WHO aims to support NGO’s working in hard-to-reach areas, where access is limited or restricted. Sub-contracted NGO’s will be enabled to locally procure necessary medicines and medical supplies to fill in the gaps of critically needed medical services in under-served areas like Al-Hassakeh, Aleppo city and Afrin, Rajo in Rural Aleppo, Al Tal in Rural Damascus among other areas.

Bilaterally, WHO aims to continue enhancing the operational and programmatic capacity of NGO’s to develop proposals, manage projects and monitor activities. As a continuation of the 2015, under this grant, WHO aims to further strengthen NGO’s capacities through continuous outsourced capacity building and on the job counselling.
Providing Hemodialysis and fragmentation of kidney stones Al Afia fund charity in Homs is always providing hemodialysis for kidney patients since establishing at August 2006 .during the crises from about 6 years ago a lot of public hospitals went out of service like, Al Watani hospital ,and Ibn Al Waleed hospital in Al Waer area caused by  irreparable damages that happened to it.That added unbearable weight on the charity shoulders .Since the 20 th of February 2014 WHO started to provide our charity with hemodialysis materials (Vistula,tubes,acid,Bicarbonate)  in condition that we have to pay for the sessions and some of the materials (Heparin+Magnesium, vitamin etc...) ,and technician, doctor and hospital fees. On the other hand patients  must pay for  the Epoetin  and their monthly  and interim examination. the number of patents reached till now 255 patients .Those patients need more than 1900 sessions monthly .How ever the number is still rising which might lead that our charity might not be able to take care of all hemodialysis patients by its own .Kindly note that the  number  of sessions during the last 8 months of this year  have reached 13867 hemodialysis patient.WHO had helped us  till this date with 9200 hemodialysis sessions' materials .In the case of accepting to give us this grant, we will provide this service  without taking anything from the patients, making this service  totally free of charge.
Recently we opened Al Afia center for  hemodialysis and kidney's' stones Fragmentation. we welcome about  60 kidney'stones fragmentation patient monthly and about 255 hemodialysis patient.

we plan in this project  to help 144 hemodialysis  patients with the total of 8729 sessions, the number  of sessions varies from one to another  about 8 sessions  for one patient monthly (1-3 sessions per week) ,as for the 315 kidney's stones fragmentation patient.  

we will refer all patients  to Al Afia kidney center only.
WASH in Jibreen IDPs Shelter in Rural Aleppo - Syria In light of ongoing fighting in “Aleppo Governorate” which led to continuous displacement and a significant increase in IDPs. Aleppo government is looking for prepare a location in a safe area in Aleppo rural to be able to hosting increased numbers of IDPs by providing the proper accommodation requirements.

Jibreen IDPs collective shelter is one of the most vulnerable location in Aleppo rural where about 1500 household expected to be potentials beneficiaries. All of them will live in unfinished industrial halls suffering from shortage in WASH facilities, and a lot of them having no access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation facilities.

The most vulnerable groups (Children amp Women) are particularly vulnerable in this emergency context, exposed to major risk of lack of water, sanitation services, and lack of hygiene services and awareness. 
There is a single water point source serving the the whole population thereby overburdening women and children who spend most of their time collecting water other than engaging in other productive activities such as schooling.

Furthermore, previous stakeholder  involvements (UN agencies, NNGOs and INGOs.) in these halls during  2015-2016 were not enough to solve the problem, it was working on "partially solutions" according to numbers of IDPs resettled in the shelter, and this project will act to complete the WASH works especially the external works in all industrial halls.
So, the project aim to solve this problem by 

1-	Accessing safe water through implementing a temporary fresh water net to reach to 440 halls.
2-	Provide external sanitation facilities to 288 halls. 

This will protect thousands of people who are expected to move to the mentioned location (1500 household) . By implementing the project, more than 288 household will have access to fresh and safe water and about 440 household will benefit from sanitation facilities.



Fouadi believes of the importance of coordination and therefore it will work to have open channels with the relevant governmental bodies, concerned sectors, UN agencies, NNGOs and INGOs which already have intervention in the location.
Winterization Program - Protecting children from the impact of harsh weather conditions through the provisions of NFIs Syria is the largest and most dynamic and humanitarian crisis affecting children in the world today. In 2016, an estimated 13.5 million people, including 6 million children, are in need of humanitarian assistance. Of these, 5.47 million people are in hard-to-reach areas, including close to 600,000 people in 18 besieged areas.

The onset of winter and summer brings additional suffering and hardships upon the most affected population particularly IDPs living in tented camps, abandoned or unfinished building. Keeping children warm in subzero temperatures and cool during extreme heat is a challenge for the families due to lack of access to electricity, fuel and poorly insulated houses, schools and shelters. Children are particularly vulnerable and  are suffering from heat and cold related diseases .Without access to essential NFIs, fuel or electricity, over 6 million children are at risk of exposure to harsh weather, including acute respiratory infection due to indoor pollution. The provision of heating facilities, winter and summer clothes and blankets can be a lifesaving response for children living in the makeshift tents, open shelters, abandoned or unfinished buildings particularly those in mountainous regions where temperatures dip below freezing points.

The key priority for UNICEF is to protect vulnerable boys and girls living in Syria from the consequences of harsh weather by procuring locally winter clothes kits and by ensuring a timely distribution before the beginning of winter. The procurement and distribution of winter clothes is conducted according to equity and quality standards defined by UNICEF. Kits will be produced entirely at local level to support local markets and economies and will be distributed to children in need in various areas of the country, both through direct distribution and through inter-agency convoys to reach hard to reach and besieged areas. Specific attention will be paid to children living in the 18 besieged areas in Syria. 

Beneficiary targeting will be based on access, social economic vulnerability and exposure to extreme weather, with priority being given to child and female headed households, IDPs living in informal settlement, camps, and abandoned or unfinished buildings. Population residing in hard to reach or besieged and contested areas are particularly vulnerable and in greater need of the humanitarian assistance since they have limited access to humanitarian assistance and markets.
Education in Emergencies (E in E) The conflict in Syria has taken a serious toll on school infrastructure, limiting education opportunities for children. As of November 2015, one in four schools are no longer accessible. Many children have lost up to four years of schooling, while others have dropped out with little chance of returning. The limited access to education opportunities puts thousands of boys and girls at risk of child labor and abuse and deprives them from their right to education. In addition, some children require psychosocial support to help them deal with the effects of trauma.  The overall objective of the E in E project is to increase access to quality education for Syrian girls and boys and will target 300 classrooms in 15 schools (approx. 6,150 boys, 6,150 girls and 300 educational staff) in Homs, Quneitra and Rural Damascus. This will be achieved through a combination of approaches leading to an increase in the number of schools and classrooms available for educational purposes as well as increasing the capacity of teachers and children to deal with destructive impacts of the conflict and psychosocial needs.
