The beginning of 2017 saw a significant decrease in hostilities between the Government of Syria (GoS) and non-state armed groups (NSAGs) following the ceasefire agreement

that was brokered by Russia and Turkey in December 2016. This decrease proved to be short-lived after hostilities reignited in the Wadi Barada area, in January, and Dar’a city

in February, after which the ceasefire came to an end. In March, hostilities also broke out in the northern countryside of Hama governorate between GoS and NSAGs, displacing

at least 52,000 people. April saw a chemical attack on Khan Shaykun town in Idleb governorate that resulted in 87 fatalities, and at least 21 attacks on health care across the

country.

Following the collapse of the December 2016 ceasefire agreement; Russia, Turkey and Iran brokered another agreement in May 2017, which created four de-escalation areas

across the country (north-western Syria, Northern Rural Homs, Southern Syria and Eastern Ghouta). The agreement succeeded in reducing hostilities in north-western Syria and

northern rural Homs. However, southern Syria saw heavy clashes in June and July 2017, which culminated in another de-escalation agreement in July 2017, between Jordan,

USA and the Russian Federation. In a similar fashion, an escalation in violence in Eastern Ghouta culminated in two separate de-escalation agreements being reached between

Jaysh Al-Islam and the Russian Federation in July 2017 and Faylaq Al-Rahman and the Russian Federation in August 2017.

With hostilities between GoS forces and NSAGs decreasing in north-western Syria, several rounds of infighting between different groups took place. Of note were the clashes

which happened between Ahrar Al-Sham and Hayyat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) in July 2017, which resulted in the defeat of Ahrar Al-Sham. As a result of this defeat, HTS exerted

control over the key crossing of Bab Al-Hawa. The defeat of Ahrar Al-Sham in north-western Syria drastically changed the governance and service provision structures in north-

western Syria, and in November 2017, the formation of the National Salvation Government was announced.

With the frontlines in the western part of the country becoming more or less quite, GoS forces turned its attention on the ISIL controlled parts in the eastern part of the country. In

September 2017, GoS forces broke the ISIL-enforced siege on Deir-ez-Zor city, where more than 93,000 people had been besieged for more than three years. In parallel, the

Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) launched an offensive against ISIL in the eastern countryside of Deir-ez-Zor governorate. SDF also continued its operations against ISIL in Ar-

Raqqa governorate. In October 2017, SDF established full control over Ar-Raqqa city following months of fighting that left at least 90% of the city in ruins. According to the Camp

Coordination and Camp Management Cluster, 570,000 people in total were displaced as a result of the military operations in Ar-Raqqa and Deir-ez-Zor governorate.

NeedsKey Indicators

According to the cluster response data (4Ws) of Jan - Dec 2017, 154 sub-districts (1,349 unique reported communities by 9 clusters) have been reached from Turkey. Around

45 sub-districts have been consistently reached. Education cluster reached 696,428; Early cluster reached 326,015; FSL 2 million average monthly; Health provided 10,622,647

million medical procedures; NFIs were provided to 1,374,176 and shelter to 333,003; Nutrition helped 702,532; protection services were provided to 581,718 and WASH cluster

reached an average 1.2 million per month. The highest number of beneficiaries reached are in Idleb and Aleppo Governorates.

During the same period, UN delivered 4,656 truckloads of humanitarian assistance using Bab al-Hawa and Bab al-Salam border crossings (80% via Bab al-Hawa). Shipped

assistance included Health supplies for 4.1 million people (including polio vaccines for 1.02 million children under 5 and 54,618 children under one year with routine DTP3); food

assistance for over 828,000 people (566,200 monthly average); NFI and Shelter items for 1.03 million people; and WASH supplies for about 432,000 people; Nutrition items for

271,000; and Education materials for 369,000 people in 3 Governorates (Idleb, Aleppo and Hama). The highest number of beneficiaries reached are in Idleb and Aleppo. From

Jan – Dec 2017, the Turkish Red Crescent (TRC) facilitated the crossing of 6,626 truckloads of humanitarian supplies from 41 INGOs and 165 local NGOs/other actors including

Turkish and Syrian NGOs, with a total value of US$117 million using six border crossings along the Turkish-Syrian border. Sectoral breakdown of the assistance facilitated by

TRC is: 62% Food, 27% Shelter/NFIs, 7% Health and 4% WASH.

From Jan - Dec 2017, Education, Early Recovery, FSL, Shelter/NFI and Protection clusters reported providing cross-border assistance to approximately 2.5 million Syrians in the

form of cash and vouchers. Out of this, 23% received cash and 77% vouchers. Early Recovery cluster reached more than 100.000 thousand direct and indirect beneficiaries with

cash. Approximately 17% of FSL’s total response consisted of cash and vouchers for more than 1.5 million. Shelter/NFI reported assisting 230,000 people with cash and

voucher activities, which comprised approximately 15% of its total response.

CAMP COORDINATION AND CAMP MANAGEMENT

HRP 2017 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES



Plan/Forecast

As of December 2017, the Cluster reported 374,660 IDPs

living in 375 IDP sites in northern Syria. In 2017, Cluster

members were able to cover water need at 92%, waste

removal for 90%, sanitation at 89%, shelter for 85%, food

needs for 80%, and NFI needs for 73%. The Cluster is also

coordinating the displacement tracking in northern Syria.

Several forced evacuations and massive displacements took

place during 2017, where the CCCM Reception Centres

(RCs), in Idleb and Aleppo, contributed to serve as first

reception to 33,233 IDPs. A new data collection tool (ISMI

2.0) was piloted in November and officially launched for all

Cluster members in December 2017. As of December 2017,

the CCCM Cluster has tracked 1,608,074 unique

displacements in 1,246 communities within seven

governorates in Syria since the 2017 HNO.

Cluster PrioritiesThe first priority of the CCCM cluster is to ensure that life-sustaining activities continue in a coordinated manner serving as many residents as possible in need-based IDP sites. CCCM will ensure

that the Do No Harm principle is applied in all steps of response coordination and that camps are not pull-factors. Promoting more accountable management structures within IDP sites and

ensuring that the different segments of the community are equally involved in decision making processes, ensuring a more effective use of scarce resources and to improve conditions in IDP

sites of last-resort is the second priority of the Cluster. The third priority is helping IDPs rebuild their physical and financial assets through livelihoods and resilience support, enabling them to find

other, better solutions.

The number of IDPs in the IDP sites that are registered in

CCCM database has increased by 11% especially in Idleb

in 2017. A total of 46 new IDP Sites hosting 21,882 IDPs

were established in Idleb and Aleppo, as well as two new

reception centres in Idleb and Aleppo. In the second

quarter of 2017, 6 of these new sites got emptied due to

insecurity. IDPs living in these IDP sites rely on

humanitarian assistance to meet their basic needs. Due to

the lack of funding, major winter needs in camps cannot be

covered by the CCCM Cluster members; tent insulation

and tent replacement, fuel response, provision of heaters,

distribution of winter clothes and winter NFI kits are

amongst the winterization activities that meet less than 50

percent of the need.

Establishment of a planned camp in Idleb is in tendering

process for construction. The camp will have a hosting

capacity of 5,000 IDPs, and will provide IDPs with protection

services and multi-sector assistance during short-period

displacements. Rehabilitation of one reception center in Azaz

will be completed in early 2018. The CCCM cluster through

members is considering the establishments of additional

planned camps to ensure people will have a dignified shelter

and protection. Through THF Reserve Fund, CCCM cluster

will procure 2,000 tents for the contingency stock, which will

be available for CCCM members to expand IDP sites to

respond to the ongoing displacement. CCCM members will

scale up their response to host approximately 19,000 IDPs in

various sites out of which 7,000 are already accommodated.

WoS IDP TF tracked

1,608,074

In 2017, according to the CCCM's IDPs Sites Integrated

Monitoring Matrix gaps in multisectoral life-saving

assistance in the IDP sites are as follows: 27% NFI, 20%

Food, 15% Shelter, 11% Sanitation, 10% Waste removal

and 8% Water. Furthermore, the CCCM Cluster

Transit/Reception centres in Idleb and Aleppo played a

significant role in providing dignified and accountable

assistance to the most vulnerable arrivals after the

massive displacements in 2017. Those reception centres

run beyond their capacity and are faced with challenges in

food provision since several donors program their funding

to the new arrivals for only one month but often IDPs

exceed the one-month duration. Due to the lack of space,

existing camps in Idleb are unable to host any additional

IDPs.

Camp data is collected from Cluster members providing

services in IDP camps while IDP data is provided by all cross-

border humanitarian actors. Data is triangulated by the

Cluster. For more detail contact [email protected],

Plan/Forecast


The need for rehabilitation of education facilities and

accelerated learning programmes is on the rise.

Accreditation remains a critical gap in non-government

controlled areas. The cost of providing education activities

in bieseged areas continues to increase. Lack of supplies

is undermining the quality of education. Also, the

humanitarian access in some areas became increasingly

constrained.

Members of the education cluster continue to provide

equitable and quality education for children and youth in a

very difficult operational environment. It is expected that there

will be an increase in the response where there is high IDP

movement, especially in non-formal education, rehabilitation,

payment of teacher incentives and teacher trainings.

The Education Cluster's key priorities are to support the coordination of education reponse and implementation of education programming in camps and informal settlements,

besieged, hard to reach and militarily encircled areas with an aim to increase access, improve quality and strenghten the system. With general meetings, emergency planning

meetings and working groups the cluster promotes sharing of information, experiences, tools and practices. The Cluster continues to support ad hoc requests from members in

order to strengthen the timeliness and accountability of the response.

Cluster PrioritiesThe FSL cluster priorities are addressing critical needs of people in need in Syria by increasing accessibility of food to those in need, and providing livelihoods and agriculture

assistance including livestock support. FSL cluster members have also stepped up their response to IDPs due to the increasing displacements in Nothern Syria.

Key Indicators Needs ResponseAt Whole of Syria level, the FSL Sector targets 2 million

people (projected in HNO 2017) with emergency rations

and 8 million people with a monthly basis support, with a

minimum caloric transfer of 1,600 kcal per person per day,

through different types of modalities. Moreover, the Cluster

targets 5.1 million people with livelihood and agriculture

assistance to support resilience, minimize dependence on

humanitarian aid and strenghthen local economies along

the value chain.

# of children (5-17 years, g/b) enrolled in non-formal

Access to safe, protected, quality learning environment

continue to be the cluster's main priority. With the increase

in IDP movement towards north, in particular from

bieseged areas, there is an increased need for scaling up

of accelerared learning and catch up programmes.

Therefore, new Temporary Learning Spaces need to be

established and existing schools need rehabilitation to

improve the absorption capacity in areas that had an influx

of IDPs. School supplies, teaching and learning materials

as well as school furniture are urgently needed to set up

these spaces, along with a need to recruit new teachers as

most schools will either need to operate in double shifts or

establish new classrooms. School suspensions due to the

conflict continue to inhibit children’s access to education

and disrupt the education process.

For February forecast, FSL Cluster members plans to reach

608,345 people with food baskets, 838,058 people with

flour/bakery support, and 107,470 people with livelihood

support. The ongoing IDP response with emergency food

rations will continue using both Humanitarian Funds (HF) and

non-HF funding.

Due to the escalating conflict, access remains the key

challenge. Many of the IDP destinations remain

inaccessible by FSL cross-border partners leading to

inadequate/delayed response in south of Idleb and other

besieged and hard to reach areas such as Eastern

Ghouta. There is a risk of additional depletion of livelihood

assets for IDPs as well as host communities.

Health Cluster is facing huge challenges to maintain the

quality of primary and secondary health care due to limited

resources. There are significant gaps in availability of

drugs and medical supplies (especially anesthesia drugs,

orthopedic consumables, ICU medication and blood bank

consumables), less human resources, and resources to

support health operations.

The Health Cluster has developed a contigency plan for

Northwest Syria which aims to respond to the health needs of

displaced people coming to north west Syria, mainly to Idleb.

The capacity development of health workforce will continue,

with focus on PHC, RH, child health, emergency and trauma

care. The routine immunization will be strengthened by the

expansion of immunization centers, and sufficient medicines

and supplies will be prepositioned. Health Cluster also

prioritized health interventions in East Ghouta.

the deployment of rapid response teams, the Cluster will provide

integrated critical life-saving treatment and preventative

services. The Cluster will continue to monitor the situation of

malnutrition through the established nutrition surveillance

system and identify the areas with the increase trends and

provide timely response. The Cluster will conduct a SMART

survey in Jarablus, Menbij, Ar-Raqqa and Tel-Abyed.

From Jan to Dec 2017, the cluster screened 542,386 (92% of

the target) children under 5 and PLW; counseled 220,680

pregnant and lactating women on appropriate IYCF; and

admitted a total of 3,522 severely malnourished children aged 0-

59 months, 13,666 moderately malnourished children aged 6-

59 months and 1,652 pregnant and lactating women with acute

malnutrition to treatment programmes. Treatment for severely

and moderately malnourished children has been established in

94 out of 425 targeted communities. A total of 30,442 children

under 5 and 33,828 PLWs received micronutrient

supplementation and LNS/HEB.

The Nutrition Cluster conducted a gap analysis which

revealed that nutrition services are only provided in 425

communities out of 1,015 (in 80 sub-districts in 7

governorates in North Syria). In Idleb, only 46% (236 out of

a total of 516) of the communities are reached by nutrition

services. In addition, the Nutrition Cluster identified priority

interventions areas, which needs to be addressed, using

multi-sector indicators. Shortage of funding hindered the

scale-up of nutrition services in more communities.18,922 80,289

Gaps

Nutrition cluster has a critical funding gap which will have

impact on pipeline, sustaining and scaling up interventions.

The gap analysis conducted by Nutrition Cluster revealed

that there are critical gaps in services. Almost 50% of the

communities in Idleb are not receiving timely, effective and

quality nutrition response to appropriately address their

needs. There is a need to scale up infant and young child

feeding in emergency, to sustain the low level of acute

malnutrition and prevent the long term consequences of

malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies.

Cluster PrioritiesShelter/NFIs cluster priorities are: 1) Assess and provide the most vulnerable with life-saving and life-sustaining shelter and NFI support. 2) Orientate programming towards

sustainable solutions that build resilience. 3) Developing the Cluster in terms of common strategies, standards and guidelines. 4) Enhance emergency response coordination,

capacity and strategies between hubs. 5) Prioritize NFI support to newly arrived IDPs 6) Issue the HLP Due Diligence Guidelines. 7) Develop shelter rehabilitation technical

guidance and update existing NFI standards and kit content. 8) Ensure winterization support.

The cluster is working in cooperation with all WoS hubs to go

around access restrictions. The SNFI Cluster will concentrate

on filling gaps for the coming winter. For this purpose, a plan

was developed based on areas of priority according to snow

coverage, coldest temperatures and areas of higest severity

scale. The cost of the targeted winter kits are estimated to be

over 55m USD covering over 800,000 individuals. Just 30%

of the winter plan was confirmed funded. The SNFI Cluster

has also worked to prepare a contingency emergency

response for the Idleb Emergency.

WoS target (individuals) Access remains the primary obstacle for cluster

interventions. While there are NFI gaps, shelter remains

the biggest gap. Idleb's shelter capacity has been depleted

for sometime and the latest displacements from the Idleb

and south Aleppo have worsened the shelter conditions.

Interference from armed groups has also increased during

this quarter. Consideration of key HLP issues in shelter

activities remained a gap during this quarter.

While evacuations from besieged areas have reduced

during this quarter, there have been continued

displacements within Raqqa and Idleb as well as from

Raqqa, Hama, Homs, Arsal and Deir-ez-Zor. The priority

for the cluster has been to ensure the provision of new

arrival kits to all displaced population for the medium long

term. In addition, shelter remains a critical need, therefore,

the cluster has continued to work to maximize shelter

support through increased shelter rehabilitation activities.

Specific plans have been made to respond to the

emergencies in Eastern Ghouta and for the Idleb

emergency that started in mid December.

Key Indicators NeedsFrom Jan to Dec 2017, a total of 1,707,178 (550,898 in Q4)

individuals have been reached with Shelter and NFI

assistance. Shelter initiatives included sustainable

repair/rehabilitation of housing, rehabilitation of emergency

shelters, provision of seasonal shelter assistance and

transitional housing solutions. Districts with the highest

coverage were Harim (Idleb), A'zaz (Aleppo), Jebel Saman

(Aleppo), Al Ma'ra (Idleb) and Idleb (Idleb).

Key gaps include lack of electricity to operate WASH

systems, sustainable solution to access water from water

grid, sanitation and hygiene at border camps, access to

communities near active military conflict, decrease in

funding and emergency response capacity

The Protection Cluster priorities are 1) Increase the protection of populations at risk from the consequences of the conflict through sustained advocacy, risk mitigation and enhanced protection

responses; 2) Strengthen the capacity of national and community-based actors to assess, analyse and respond to protection needs; 3) Scale up sustained services in accessible locations and

improving the quality of child protection programming through enhancing the capacity of actors to deliver vital protection services such as specialized services and community based child

protection interventions for conflict affected children; 4) Survivors of GBV have access to quality comprehensive GBV services and measures are in place to prevent and reduce risks of GBV;

and 5) Reduce the impact of explosive hazards within Syria through clearance and risk education activities.

Protection: sustained access and ability to monitor

protection situation of the affected population; and

provision of specialised services related to Housing, Land

and Property and civil documentation and community

based protection remain key needs.

Child Protection: mentorship initiatives to support partners

expand activities, and to provide quality prevention and

response services to affected population both in accessible

and hard to reach or besieged locations are needed.

GBV needs include increasing availability of GBV survivors

centered services and guaranteeing safe and equal

access to services and opportunities for women and girls

including GBV survivors.

Mine Action needs include access for specialised mine

action personnel to assess the impact of and remove

explosive hazards in communities.

Limited specialized services or inclusive services for other

groups with specific needs, e.g. persons with disabilities or

older persons, remains a critical gap for the Cluster.

Guaranteeing continuity of services remains challenging

due to the short duration of funds, especially for Syrian

NGOs that continue to be reliant on HF funds or annual

partnership with UN or INGOs. Capacity to provide

specialized services, like case management, including

family tracing and reintegration of children formerly

associated with armed groups is limited. Limited funding for

some partners affecting their capacity to scale up response

in a timely manner as required.

The Protection Cluster in Gaziantep exceeded its target for

number of persons who receive capacity building to implement

protection interventions for prevention and response, reaching

over 4,000 women and men. The Protection Monitoring Task

Force began conducting regular monthly monitoring in March

2017, following a pilot conducted in December 2016. From

March to December 2017, thirteen members of the Protection

Cluster in Gaziantep conducted 5,955 interviews in eight

governorates, 22 districts, 57 sub-districts, and 276

communities, while also conducting rapid monitoring and

producing reports for seven emergencies. The Protection

Cluster also refined and finalized its emergency response

package, which enhances field coordination and provides

minimum service packages in an integrated manner to affected

communities. Finally, the Protection Cluster in Gaziantep formed

a Housing, Land, and Property Technical Working Group which

gathers cluster coordinators and HLP practitioners to strategize

about preventing and resolving HLP issues faced.

The GBV sub-cluster participated in the strategic and technical

review for the second standard allocation of the Humanitarian

Fund. A number of projects with GBV components have passed

final review with specific focus on continuity of services and

integration of GBV services into existing service delivery points.

The GBV capacity building initiative is continuing as per plan. A

second self-care training was conducted in October with 11

female and 3 male participants. Furthermore, the monthly

learning sessions were held for GBV service providers part of

the second group of the GBV capacity building initiative, which

focused on case discussion methodologies. The GBV SC

organized a 10 day training for Case Managers working inside

Syria on GBV basics, GBV SOPs, PSS and Case Management.

The GBV SC organized a visit to Gaziantep by a specialized

CMR doctor that facilitated learning session and meetings to

provide technical support to GBV SC members that are

organizing CMR trainings in Syria.

Child Protection (CP) sub-cluster on 27 October participated in a

technical consultation on FTR organized by Turkey – UNHCR,

UNICEF, IOM and Turkish Red Crescent. Participants agreed to

map and document FTR capacities and procedures as the first

step towards Turkey - cross-border collaboration. The child

protection sub-cluster hosted in Gaziantep the yearly WOS CP

meeting for partners in November. Field test of the Situation

Monitoring tool was conducted and data collected and analyzed.

Child protection partners supported 56 unaccompanied and

separated children (UASC) through case management,

including FTR services, alternative care, and referral to other

service providers as required. A total of 129 children at risk or

associated with armed forces and groups (CAAFAG) were also

identified and supported with psychosocial services and referred

to vocational and livelihood opportunities.

Risk Education materials continue to be integrated within other

clusters and sub-clusters such as NFI, Protection, Food Security

and Education.

The Protection Cluster will facilitate a Protection Cluster

planning workshop with member organizations to discuss

Cluster strategy and develop work plans. The month of

January 2018 will mostly be dedicated to finalzing the 2018

approach, including emergency preparedness

programming. While evaluating the achievements of 2017

and plan for 2018. GBVSC will focus on revising its SOPs,

developing guidelines for ethical closing of programmes

and for widows/women's only camps, to ensure the

protection and basic rights of this vulnerable group.

GBVSC will also engage with other Clusters to ensure

GBV risk mitigation and will support partners in making

their services more inclusive to adolescent girls and people

with disabilities (among other vulnerable groups). Deliver

CP case management supervision and coaching training

Plan/Forecast

The main priorities of the early recovery are 1) To empower affected communities and individuals including adolescents and youth through enabling better and safe access to

essential services 2) Restoration of basic infrastructure and socio-economic infrastructure adopting labour-intensive schemes. Rehabilitating disrupted livelihoods and social

protection schemes 3) To foster social cohesion and local participation for more resilient communities. The sector's strategy is to empower people in their communities through

capacity building and ensuring local engagement in emergency response activities. Adolescent and youth inclusion is a key element of the programme’s design 4) To enhance

resilience through providing better opportunities enabling less harmful coping mechanisms for affected people and vulnerable groups (especially female headed households,

adolescents and youth) through the rehabilitation and restoration of disrupted livelihoods in parallel to social protection schemes.

From Jan to Dec, 24 ER members implemented activities either directly or

through an implementing partner in 11 governorates primarily concentrating on

Aleppo and Idleb. Since the beginning of the year, cluster members reached

326,015 total beneficiaries (71,455 direct and 254,560 indirect beneficiaries).

31,789 benefited from promoting social protection schemes addressing social

and economic needs of identified vulnerable groups and 14,177 directly

benefited from the activity restoring micro and small-scale enterprises through

grants, loans and productive assets. 12,856 people directly benefited from the

activities focused in restoring and rehabilitating productive, basic and social

infrastructure (roads, schools, hospital, collective housing/shelters, markets).

4,984 benefited from capacity development, vocational training and

entrepreneurship skills programmes.

Needs ResponseAs livelihoods have broken down, millions of people have been thrust into poverty, while

recurrent displacement, loss of assets, the impact of unilateral coercive measures, and

weakened social protection schemes have further compounded vulnerabilities across the

country. By the end of 2014, about 82.5% of the population was living below the poverty line.

Over 60% are extremely poor, and the unemployment rate reached 57.7% (2014). More than

60% of the labour force (about 3.5 million) is unemployed with about 3 million having lost their

jobs because of the conflict. The situation in north Syria indicates that maintaining reasonable

consumption of goods and services has become increasingly difficult over the past two years

due to multiple and diverse shocks, resulting in continued movement of people, volatility in

prices and shrinking labour opportunities. More households are increasingly reliant on labour

and petty trade as survival strategies, however, overall, the number of available labour days has

decreased. In response to households reduced purchasing power a variety of negative coping

mechanism have emerged impacting differently the livelihood of men, women, boys and girls,

such as child labour; engagement in armed groups, early marriage amongst others.

ER Cluster is working on the formulation of a livelihood startegy in collaboration

with sector partners and donors to stimulate the creation of sustainable job

opportunities, and strengthen NGO capacity to support the design and delivery of

livelihoods interventions with a pilot to test effective and innovative livelihoods

approaches, which can then further inform the livelihoods strategy.The major gap is insufficient investment in sustainable job creation.

Cluster PrioritiesTo provide a logistics coordination and information platform to the humanitarian community, as well as transshipment services at Bab al-Hawa (BAH) and Bab al-Salam (BAS)

Hubs to all Turkey based UN Agencies and their Implementing Partners (IPs), as mandated by the UN Security Council Resolution. To conduct logistics-related trainings to

enhance expertise.

Needs

Gaps

There is a need to support agencies in coordinating transshipments at BAH and BAS to enable

the provision of support to vulnerable populations and the prepositioning of relief supplies in

Syria. Regular Logistics Cluster meetings are needed to avoid information gaps and duplication

of efforts. Logistical trainings are needed to support a strengthened logistics response.

ResponseBetween Jan-Dec 2017, the transshipment of 913 trucks from Kilis/Bab al-

Salam and 3,743 trucks from Reyhanli/Bab al-Hawa was facilitated. 36 people

from 21 organisations were trained on warehouse management and

procurement. 18 Logistics Cluster meetings were held in Gaziantep and

Antakya.

The limited number of trucks that can pass the border on a daily basis in Bab al-Hawa

represents one of the major constraints to the transshipment operations. Currently, the number

of trucks that are allowed to cross per day is limited to 22; this number could be increased upon

authorities’ approval and upon procurement of an additional X-Ray machine (currently in

process). The Logistics Cluster has already developed a preparedness plan in case the Bab al-

Hawa hub needs to be expanded.

For more information please contact: [email protected] or [email protected]

Support smooth transshipment operations at UNSC-mandated border

crossings. Organise logistics-related training based on partners' feedback. The

Logistics Cluster has the capacity to scale up its support and organize ad hoc

convoys on short notice if needed, security and access permitting, in response

to developments of the situation on the ground.
