Emergency winterization assistance to mitigate the impact of winter weather on IDPs, returnees and non-displaced persons. ltpgtIn the third year of the war, continuous constant attacks, destruction of civilian infrastructure, and uncontrolled shifting front lines are forcing people to flee in search of safer places to live and seriously worsen the lives of those who remain.ltbrgtThe project is of an emergency nature.
