The Role of Aid: Delivering Food to Northwest Syria

In the midst of conflict, humanitarian efforts play a vital role in addressing the needs of those affected. In northwest Syria, aid trucks are working tirelessly to deliver essential supplies to those in need.

According to the United Nations' Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the cross-border operation from Turkey into the northwest has been running without impediments. This enables vital food supplies to be delivered to those who need them most.

Delivering Food to 175,000 People

On Tuesday alone, 21 trucks carrying 500 metric tonnes of food crossed into Idlib through the Bab Al-Hawa border crossing. This amount is sufficient to feed 175,000 people, providing a significant boost in addressing ongoing humanitarian needs.

Cholera Vaccination Campaign Underway

In northeast Syria, a cholera vaccination campaign is underway in Al-Hol camp in Al-Hasakeh. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) are supporting this effort to protect vulnerable populations from the spread of cholera.

Child Protection Services Resume Operations

In Aleppo, child protection services have resumed operations, with 26 fixed centers and 12 mobile teams active in urban and rural areas. This is a crucial step forward in ensuring the well-being of children affected by conflict.

Ongoing Challenges

Despite these efforts, OCHA warns that supply shortages, financial liquidity issues, and insecurity across the country remain key constraints for humanitarian response. Nutrition supplies are running out across the country, and many referred cases have not been treated. Primary health centers in Hama had their insulin supplies stolen, while 18 primary health centers in Homs were unable to provide vaccination services due to damage, looting, and staff shortages.

Vendor Limitations

Vendors and field partners are also experiencing limitations on the amount of cash that can be withdrawn, affecting their ability to operate.

Positive Developments

In a positive development, over 58,000 people have returned to Syria from neighboring countries such as Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey in the past three weeks. Since the beginning of the year, an estimated 419,200 Syrian refugees have come back to their homeland. The majority (25%) have returned to Ar-Raqqa, followed by Aleppo and Dar'a.

Conclusion

As humanitarian efforts continue to support those affected by conflict in Syria, it is clear that challenges lie ahead. Despite these obstacles, aid trucks are working tirelessly to deliver food and other essential supplies to those who need them most. As we look to the future, it is crucial that we prioritize the well-being of those affected by conflict and work towards creating a more peaceful and stable region.
