The project is being implemented by Bahar organization, which has initiated a comprehensive and needs-based intervention for the earthquake-affected population in Northwest Syria, primarily in Afrin and Azaz districts, with the support of international and institutional donors. The ongoing intervention covers various needs, including WASH, protection, health, nutrition, shelter, food, and cash assistance. However, dltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtespite Bahar's ongoing efforts to cover the dire needs of the earthquake-affected population in Afrin, there remains a significant gap in the response in terms of non-food items. To address this gap, Bahar is proposing to cover the non-food items in Afrin district, targeting IDP sites of camps, collective centers, and reception centers. Specifically, Bahar aims to secure 2077 shelters in the form of tents in Afrin, which have already been funded by three donors. However, non-food items, such as blankets, mattresses, kitchen sets, are still missing and urgently needed to support the earthquake-affected population.lt/spangtlt/pgtltp style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227) box-sizing: border-box --tw-border-spacing-x:0 --tw-border-spacing-y:0 --tw-translate-x:0 --tw-translate-y:0 --tw-rotate:0 --tw-skew-x:0 --tw-skew-y:0 --tw-scale-x:1 --tw-scale-y:1 --tw-pan-x:  --tw-pan-y:  --tw-pinch-zoom:  --tw-scroll-snap-strictness:proximity --tw-ordinal:  --tw-slashed-zero:  --tw-numeric-figure:  --tw-numeric-spacing:  --tw-numeric-fraction:  --tw-ring-inset:  --tw-ring-offset-width:0px --tw-ring-offset-color:#fff --tw-ring-color:rgba(59,130,246,0.5) --tw-ring-offset-shadow:0 0 transparent --tw-ring-shadow:0 0 transparent --tw-shadow:0 0 transparent --tw-shadow-colored:0 0 transparent --tw-blur:  --tw-brightness:  --tw-contrast:  --tw-grayscale:  --tw-hue-rotate:  --tw-invert:  --tw-saturate:  --tw-sepia:  --tw-drop-shadow:  --tw-backdrop-blur:  --tw-backdrop-brightness:  --tw-backdrop-contrast:  --tw-backdrop-grayscale:  --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate:  --tw-backdrop-invert:  --tw-backdrop-opacity:  --tw-backdrop-saturate:  --tw-backdrop-sepia:  margin: 1.25em 0px text-decoration-thickness: initial text-decoration-style: initial text-decoration-color: initial"gtBahar will comply with the guidelines of NFI distributions developed by IOM and SNFI Cluster to ensure that the non-food items are distributed in a safe and dignified manner, taking into account the protection and well-being of the affected population.lt/pgtltp class="" style=""gtBahar will work closely with local authorities and stakeholders to mitigate any negative impacts of the intervention on the local economy and will prioritize the procurement of non-food items from local markets and suppliers, whenever possible.
