Syria: impact of winter in the Northwest

During 2022-2023 winter season, six million people across Syria will be in urgent need of winter assistance, an increase of 28% from the 2021 figure. The winter weather is expected to compound the existing humanitarian needs of displaced people affected by over ten years of crisis. In previous years, the governorates most affected by extreme weather conditions were Idleb and Aleppo in the northwestern region of the country, particularly Afrin, Azaz, Dana, Harim, and Maaret Tamsrin districts.
