The current panorama in Syria, loud World visionis due to ongoing violence, poverty and the humanitarian needs that result in 90% of the Syrian population living below the poverty line.
The NGO estimates that in northwest Syria, at least 4.1 million people are completely dependent on the assistance of humanitarian organizations and 3.7 million suffer from food insecurity. World Vision reports that around 6 million Syrians, especially women and children, do not receive basic nutritional assistance and that minors make up 64% of those most in need. And the worst thing about it, the organization emphasizes The number of people receiving food aid has fallen by half, from 2 million to just 1 million Syrians.
Syrian health services in critical condition
The World Vision Report “Beyond the Rubble: The Impact of the Earthquake on Children in Northwest Syria One Year Later” (“Beyond the Rubble: The Impact of the Earthquake on Children in Northwest Syria One Year Later”) reveals a chaotic health and nutrition emergency resulting from multiple combined crises: the conflict since 2011, the 2023 earthquake, and funding cuts.
One year after the earthquake, a large part of the population in northwestern Syria lives in inadequate accommodation. Around 800,000 people live in poverty in tents in overcrowded campsand practically without hygiene and hygiene measures. Their houses are still as they were a year ago: reduced to rubble.
The earthquakes in Syria and Turkey claimed more than 53,000 lives and left thousands of people homeless and unemployed.
