Distribution of essential food parcels to affected and IDPs families in Deir Ez- Zor Since the beginning of the crisis in 2011, Syria has witnessed significant challenges in the humanitarian and security situation across the country, leading to an increase of displacement that has had a negative impact on the IDPs and affected groups. Thus, countless of thousands of families left their damaged houses hoping to seek refuge in neighboring cities. In most cases, they leave without suitcases, personal belongings or money.
Several factors including international sanctions and massive inflation worsened the economy and public services and left industries and livelihoods paralyzed leaving millions of people completely aid dependent.
This project main goal is to provide life-saving essential food materials  support to most vulnerable families targeting crisis-affected households in  Deir-Ez_Zor.
This project would  provide mid term sustainable resilience to those most in need for food items assistance.
The objective is to provide highly vulnerable Syrian families affected by the crisis in Deir-Ez_Zor with food items to maintain their health, privacy amp dignity.
