Syria: Humanitarian needs in Afrin
Created: 03/03/2021 +

Overview

Humanitarian needs remain critical in Afrin district, Aleppo governorate, in northwest Syria (NWS) – almost four years after the Olive Branch operation in 2018, which saw the Turkish Armed Forces and the Syrian National Army (SNA) gain full control over the district. Insecurity resulting from conflict remains widespread, as does a lack of rule of law, and ongoing hostilities and economic deterioration in northern Syria continue to drive displacement into Afrin, with many people experiencing protracted displacement. This report analyses the most urgent humanitarian needs for the population of Afrin.
