Country profile
After more than a decade of conflict, conditions in Syria remain volatile and marked by violence, climatic shocks and socioeconomic deterioration.
The scale, complexity, and severity of humanitarian needs in Syria extend the necessity for up-to-date, timely, and accurate information.
Evidence-based planning and programming remains paramount to ensure that the response adequately meets the needs of the most vulnerable people and is tailored to different realities across communities and over time.
REACH has been conducting assessments on the humanitarian situation in Syria since 2013 and has since grown significantly as an actor in the response.
On 6 February, two earthquakes (with magnitudes 7.7 and 7.6, respectively) hit south-eastern Türkiye causing widespread destruction and displacement across Northwest Syria.
In the aftermath of the earthquakes, it is essential to have reliable information to assess the conditions of the affected areas and population.
