situation report

14 JULY – 15 AUGUST 2014: SYRIA, JORDAN, LEBANON, IRAQ, TURKEY AND EGYPT

SITUATION IN NUMBERS

Highlights

The plight of Syrian refugees has been made more complex by the increasing

number of conflicts across the region. The population displaced by the

fighting around Sinjar in Iraq are increasingly using the north-east of Syria as

a crossing route to enter the Kurdish Region of Iraq, with over 40,000

estimated to have entered Syria to date. Furthermore recent clashes in

Aarsal, Lebanon, have resulted in the displacement of over 820 Lebanese and

Syrian refugee households. Informal settlements have been damaged as a

result of shelling and many tents that provide shelter and a variety of

activities supported by UNICEF have been destroyed.

In Lebanon, during the Nutrition Screening Campaign from 21 May to 20

June, 16,531 Syrian refugee children aged 6-59 months were screened for

malnutrition. Of this group 77 cases were diagnosed as Moderate Acute

Malnutrition and 25 cases as Severe Acute Malnutrition without

complications. These children all received treatment.

Despite the increasing complexity of the crisis in Syria and the region UNICEF

Syria remains with a 57 per cent funding gap at mid-August 2014. The largest

funding gap remains for the WASH programme which remains 32 per cent

funded in Syria.

Syria

Situation Overview & Humanitarian Needs Humanitarian needs are growing immensely in north-east Syria, particularly in Al-Hassakeh governorate, as a result of increased violence and insecurity in Iraq as well as escalated fighting inside the governorate. Since August 7, an estimated 40,000 Iraqi refugees, mainly Yazidis from Sinjar mountain areas of Ninewa province, have crossed into Syria many of whom have re-entered north Iraq. There are 5,000 to 10,000 people expected to arrive on a daily basis in Syria. A transit camp for the families crossing was established by the Syrian Kurdish Relief Committee close to the border with north Iraq, currently hosting 1,700 families. The families are in need for urgent WASH, food, health services, shelter, NFIs, and clothes assistance. In addition, recent fighting on the Iraqi border, around Rabe’a, led to the displacement of over 1,500 families from Yaroubia in Syrian to neighbouring villages. Recent attempts by Armed Opposition Groups (AOG) to take Al-Hassakeh city triggered fear and prompted families in the city and surrounding areas to move to Qamishli and other safe areas. Increased insecurity due to advances by extremist groups in Al-Raqqa and Deir ez-Zour governorates is limiting humanitarian access. In Deir ez-Zour displacement is increasing especially in the east with recent fighting between AOGs and tribal groups. Aleppo remains tense with increased fighting between AOGs and Government forces, constraining the humanitarian response, particularly in east of the city. Three UNICEF humanitarian convoys for rural Aleppo and the east of the city, targeting 60,000 people, have been approved by the Governor, awaiting Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) approval. In the reporting period, heavy fighting in Hamdania, south west of Aleppo city which hosts two large IDP settlements, limited humanitarian access to the area. It is estimated that 150,000 IDPs are hosted in Hamadnia neighbourhood and 25,000 IDPs live in collective shelters.

Humanitarian leadership and coordination The UN estimates that close to 4.67 million people, of whom up to one million are children, live in hard to reach areas where the humanitarian situation is reportedly deteriorating. UNICEF and partners have devised a comprehensive strategy to provide humanitarian assistance, including through inter-agency cross line convoys. During the reporting period, outreach to cross-line locations has slowed down due to impediments related to the deteriorating security situation, advances made by extremist groups, mainly in north-eastern governorates, and as a consequence of new administrative procedures for authorization of humanitarian convoys out of the field hubs. As a result, of the 5 requests submitted for cross line missions during the reporting period, only Moadamyeh, in Rural Damascus proceeded, where there is a truce agreement between the GoS and AOGs. The mission from 14-21 July delivered assistance for 20,000 people under opposition control in Moadamyeh, and 10,000 people in the government controlled eastern and northern parts of Moadamyeh. UNICEF supplies included 750 new born kits for children, 750 super cereal bags, and 60,000 bars of soap. The Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) deployed two mobile clinics which provided basic consultations to more than 2,500 people. In addition, on 16 July, at least 1,000 doses of vaccines (including polio and routine immunization) were provided. UNICEF staff also participated in a joint UN mission to Malkiyeh, in Hassakeh, on 12 August to provide immediate response to the refugees arriving from Iraq. The first batch of UNICEF assistance included 1,000 cartons of High Energy Biscuits for 5,000 people, 50,000 bars of soap for 25,000 individuals, 1,100 children’s clothes-sets. Preparations are underway to respond to pressing WASH needs, polio immunization for children under-five and to dispatch additional life-saving supplies, including airlifting additional critical supplies to Qamishli to provide emergency preparedness for up to 50,000 refugees and internally displaced. Sector Coordination and Leadership The UNICEF led Education Sector has rolled out sub-national sector coordination in Hassakeh Governorate chaired by the Directorate of Education and co-chaired by UNICEF. In the previous months, the Sector has rolled out sub-national sector coordination in Tartous and Homs. These coordination mechanisms will further strengthen system-wide preparedness and technical capacity. The Sector is facilitating preparation of the Back to Learning initiative by mapping partner presence in hard to reach areas. Coordination efforts through the UNICEF-led Nutrition Sector were focused on strengthening national community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) through development of guidelines and a working strategy to guide the 10 current partners in the implementation of standardized CMAM. In addition, the Nutrition Sector have received all the data for the nutrition assessment including from Hassakh and Raqqa governorates, which were delayed due to communication challenges. The data is being processed and preliminary results are expected to be released by end of August.

The WASH sector continue to provide leadership in response to the water crisis in Aleppo caused by the breakdown of main pumping station in Suleiman al Halabi city in June 2014. As of 9th August the pumping station maintained its 30% efficiency through supply of diesel as the power cables need to be restored again. Sector partners have rehabilitated over 30 wells in the western part of the city producing over 12 million litres of drinking water per day, with additional wells not connected to the main network. An estimated, 700,000 people in Aleppo city are not able to meet their daily water needs. To provide an adequate response to the emergency

requirement for Aleppo, 50 million litres per day is required. Fulfilling this requirement will need substantial resources and additional partners to reach the targets on a sustainable manner. The sector, through its partners, is expanding the contingency plan to ensure adequate drinking water for residents of west and eastern Aleppo is produced and equally distributed. In addition, to respond to the growing needs of WASH in Hassakeh due to the recent increased displacements in the governorate, UNICEF is conducting an assessment to address identified needs.

Humanitarian Strategy UNICEF continued to scale-up life-saving interventions, with particular focus on routine vaccination, special campaigns for polio and measles, and management of acute malnutrition. WASH interventions focused on the prevention of water-borne diseases and hygiene promotion activities. As part of the efforts to preserve the future of Syrian children, an integrated package of education, child protection and adolescent development programmes to reach children with equitable access to quality education has been rolled out, through the ‘No Lost Generation’ (NLG) initiative. The NLG seeks to provide a package of remedial education, self-learning, early childhood development, psychosocial support and provision of school supplies. Child Protection programmes continue to expand, with Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) Risk Education in schools. UNICEF will continue to advocate for the protection and safety of all children in Syria, regardless of their location. On-going efforts to set up systems to independently monitor and verify grave child rights violations will be enhanced. UNICEF continues to work with a network of partners on programme response nationwide, with field offices in key locations; monitoring of supplies and services, and situation assessment to reach every Syrian child in need – with a particular focus on people and services in most vulnerable and in hard to reach areas.

Summary Analysis of Programme Response

WASH During the reporting period, UNICEF delivered 500 tons of sodium hypochlorite to Water Authorities in Tartous, Lattakia, Idleb, Damascus and Rural Damascus, Aleppo, Hama, Dar’a, Quentra, and As-Sweida governorates to ensure access to safe water to approximately 12.8 million people in these governorates. Efforts have continued to restore access to safe water in Aleppo city which was interrupted following the breakdown of the main water network in June affecting nearly 1.2 million people. So far, direct interventions supported by UNICEF, have benefitted 89,000 people with access to safe water. Nearly one third of these people are IDPs and host communities in four neighbourhoods (Al-Ashrafia, Old Al-Sarian, New Al-Sarian and Al-Neel street) of Aleppo city, which are the most affected by the water crisis. UNICEF in coordination with Aleppo Water Authority and a local NGO have installed 40 Oxfam tanks, to provide about 2.5 million litres of safe drinking water to the IDPs and the host community through storage capacity enlargement. In addition, 11 generator sets with different power rating provided by UNICEF have been installed equipping local wells to enhance water production capacity. Distribution of hygiene supplies continued in Hama through a local NGO, including cleaning toolkits, washing powder, garbage bags, sanitary napkins and baby diapers for 10,971 people. With SARC, baby hygiene kits were distributed in hard to reach locations in Al-Hasakeh (Al-Hasakeh and Ras Al-Ain), reaching 639 babies. In addition, UNICEF distributed 399 family hygiene kits for 1,995 people and 1,920 soap bars to 960 IDPs in the western part of Aleppo through SARC. Training of Trainers for Hygiene promotion was conducted in Aleppo, where 80 trainers were trained on hygiene promotion in emergencies to expand the coverage of hygiene awareness in IDP shelters and host communities. UNICEF and partners have reached over 60,000 IDPs including children in hard-to-reach areas with access to improved WASH services to maintain public health and control the outbreak of water and sanitation-related diseases. Specifically:

Ras Al Ain, Al-Hassakeh Governorate, SARC distributed water purification tablets and hygiene kits.

Al-Hassakeh city, a local NGO distributed hygiene kits, and installed one water tank.

In Talbisheh, Homs Governorate, SARC distributed water purification tablets, alongside hygiene promotion to respond to the risk of unsafe water with the lack of electricity for the water pump.

In Deir ez-Zour city, a UNICEF local NGO is supporting local solid waste management and sanitation.

In Damascus/ Rural Damascus, three generator sets were delivered to ensure pumping stations continue during power outages.

Education

Schools in Syria will re-open on 14 September. Current education activities are focused on the preparation for the new school year. With the MoE the 2014/15 school year “Back to Learning” (BtL) campaign is supported, with the distribution list of education supplies ready, focussing on hard-to-reach areas in all 14 governorates. 87 hard-to reach areas have been taken into consideration targeting 447,681 children, i.e 45 per cent of the 1 million targeted children targeted to receive BtL materials. Social mobilization activities will accompany the BtL campaign, with posters, brochures, and billboards under design, and SMS messages to be used to encourage parents to register their children in schools.

The Ministry of Education (MoE) has started the complementary secondary examinations for students in all governorates for two weeks starting from 4-14 August 2014. UNICEF continued to support 360 school clubs in 13 governorates for 330,000 children, providing remedial classes and psychosocial support (PSS) for children attending the clubs. School clubs aim to strengthen the learning performance of children as well as allow them to participate in recreation activities under the care of qualified school teachers and counsellors’ services. The Adolescent Development and Participation Programme has reached a further 13,420 adolescent with life skills and vocational training. In addition, 89 youth and school club facilitators were trained to become trainers on vocational education programme.

Child Protection

During the reporting period UNICEF and partners provided PSS for 6,178 new children and 820 adolescents in Damascus, Rural Damascus, Daraa, Qunaitra, Tartous, Lattakia, Hama and Homs. In addition, 839 children have benefited from outreach initiatives, 490 mothers also received PSS support through community based interventions. Furthermore, Specialized Psychological and Psychiatric services were provided to 314 beneficiaries in Damascus and Rural Damascus through SARC clinics. In 2014, UNICEF has reached 59,670 children and adolescents with PSS services in fixed locations, and 10,302 children through recreation and outreach. Actions are being taken to enter into partnership with more local NGOs to expand PSS in hard to reach locations in Aleppo, Hassakeh and Homs Governorates. Major constraints faced in providing psychosocial support is the lack of expertise in these areas of psychosocial work. UNICEF in collaboration with MOSA to address the capacity gap by training MOSA staff, Psychological counsellors from the MoE and NGO workers; so far 45 persons from 12 Governorates have been trained. A total of 590 children were reached with Risk Education messages in Al-Qariatein and Old City of Homs, bringing the total number of children reached with Risk Education to 23,390. In partnership with SARC, UNICEF is provided 500 children clothes-sets benefiting the same number of children who are amongst the 335 Syrian families returned back from Arsal in Lebanon. The families are currently hosted in schools in Dahyat Qudssya, and additional support will be provided in the coming days.

Health UNICEF continued to ensure provision of primary health care (PHC) services through mobile teams and fixed health centres to reach vulnerable and displaced communities with basic health care and referral services for complicated cases. During the reporting period, the fixed and mobile health teams reached 57,411 beneficiaries (51,432 children and 5,979 women) bringing the total reached in 2014 to 281,892 women and children. The last polio vaccination round conducted in June reached 2,760,242 children under five in all 14 governorates, with around 30 per cent located in non-government controlled districts. The next Sub-National (SNID) polio vaccination round will be on 31 August to 4 September, followed by a national NIDs in October and a final planned round in November. The NIDs aim to reach around 2.8 million children under-five, while the sub-NIDs’ target is around 2 million children under five. UNICEF has provided 31.5 million doses of oral polio vaccine, which is the total quantity needed to cover the polio response plan through October 2014. UNICEF will provide a further 3 million doses of polio vaccines to complete the 2014 campaign.

Nutrition UNICEF, with WHO and the MoH, organized a commemoration of World Breastfeeding Week in Damascus on 10 August as part of global breastfeeding week. The event provided a great opportunity to raise awareness among medical practitioners and community representatives on the importance of exclusive breastfeeding in Syria, which was already below 50% even before the crises. A three-day training on Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) was conducted from 5-7 August 2014 in Damascus. The training was attended by 30 doctors and paediatricians from private hospitals, maternity clinics and SARC health centers. This is the first training of its kind aiming to improve the capacity of health care workers on IYCF practices, which is an underlying cause of under-nutrition in Syria. UNICEF key partner SARC has started treatment of acute malnutrition in three nutrition treatment centers in Hama and Selamiyeh districts, with UNICEF therapeutic supplies, medicines and equipment (weighing scales, MUAC tapes). These centers have started screening of children, with around 10 children screened who were screened referred for treatment of severe acute malnutrition. Treatment of acute malnutrition is also ongoing in Damascus, Aleppo and Rural Damascus with 703 children treated during the reporting period. Since the beginning of the year, UNICEF supported the screening of 139,220 children under five and the treatment of 703 severe acute malnutrition as well as the provision of multi micronutrient supplementation to 105,107 children.

Lebanon

Situation Overview and Humanitarian Needs Aarsal, a Lebanese town on the Syria border in the Bekaa region, hosts 42,000 registered Syrian refugees, with 5,000 pending registration, surpassing the Lebanese population of 35,000. Following the arrest of a member of the Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Nusra Front on 2 August, there were clashes between various armed groups in Aarsal, mainly the Islamic State and the Al-Nusra Front, and the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). The unrest has resulted in people fleeing the area, with over 820 households (Lebanese and Syrian refugee) displaced. Humanitarian agencies have also had virtually no access to Aarsal and most humanitarian activities have been put on hold. As a result of limited access, there are growing concerns over needs for food, water and medical supplies for the affected population in Aarsal. UNICEF partners have been able to provide some limited emergency support through Health and Child Protection interventions.

Recently, 1,700 Syrian refugees attempted to leave Aarsal and return to Syria. Delays at the Masnaa border crossing to Syria as a result of issues around documentation left the 1,700 refugees waiting for a number of days. In response, UNICEF and partners provided safe water (water trucking, jerrycans and Aquatabs), high energy biscuits, health services through a Mobile Medical Unit (MMU), and psychosocial support (PSS) services to 350 children on 8 August. On 9 August, the refugees began crossing to Syria.

Humanitarian leadership and coordination In response to the recent unrest in Aarsal, UN agencies and partners in Zahleh are now working at the sectoral level on response plans and are conducting inter-agency multi-sectoral assessments in some affected areas, with assessments planned for Aarsal once security permits. UNICEF is participating in the Child Protection, Education, Health and WASH Working Groups, leading efforts to design appropriate response plans. UNICEF Lebanon maintains contact with UNICEF Syria on the identification of measures of response for any

major returns of children and women.

Humanitarian Strategy The humanitarian response in Lebanon is coordinated under the sixth Regional Response Plan (RRP6), which estimates that there will be 1.65 million vulnerable people from Syria in Lebanon by the end of 2014, including 1.5 million Syrian refugees, 50,000 Lebanese returnees and 55,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria. This is alongside 1.5 million affected in Lebanese host communities. UNICEF is focusing assistance in the 225 most vulnerable locations in Lebanon, in which 86 per cent of registered refugees and two-thirds of the vulnerable Lebanese population reside. UNICEF contributes to resilience, recovery and development within the framework of the RRP6, its regular country programme, the World Bank-led Stabilization Framework and the Education Proposal, known as RACE Lebanon. UNICEF co-leads the Education Working Group, the WASH Sector Working Group and the Child Protection in Emergencies Working Group, with UNHCR and the Ministry of Social Affairs (MOSA).

Summary Analysis of Programme Response WASH As part of a national initiative to upgrade water quality in the most vulnerable localities, 12 chlorination systems were installed by UNICEF in July in the Mont Lebanon region to serve more than 100,000 people. It is expected that more than 60 chlorination systems in priority localities will be installed in 2014. Selection criteria are being defined by Water Establishments and UNICEF. These systems are crucial to ensure that water delivered through Water Establishment systems is not contaminated, especially during this period of water scarcity where pollution is more concentrated and access to alternative source of water more difficult. In July, 69,290 people were provided with access to safe water, bringing the 2014 cumulative total to 363,420. Over 5,100 people also received hygiene items (for a total of 40,278 in 2014). In response to the issues in Aarsal, UNICEF supported the 1,700 Syrian refugees attempting to cross to Syria with safe drinking water and supplies at the Masnaa checkpoint. UNICEF partner provided 310 boxes of Aquatab, 396 jerrycans and 11,100 L of water through water trucking, 254 hygiene kits and 10 garbage bits.

Education

In July 1,146 children were enrolled in non-formal education (NFE) opportunities, bringing the cumulative result for 2014 to 48,651 children. In addition, 2,959 adolescents benefited from the UNICEF life skills package, bringing the total to 17,417 for 2014. UNICEF and UNHCR have worked with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) on issuing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to regulate the agencies’ and partners’ access to public school premises; these SOPs are now finalized so that the summer programme can begin. As a result of the on-going teacher’s strike regarding the grading of official exams for grades 9 and 12 the Minister of Education and Higher Education has suggested that should teachers refuse to grade exams, MEHE will provide certificates based on school grades. The official decisions, which will be taken in the coming days, will have consequences on Lebanese and Syrian children. UNICEF is looking into alternatives to ensure children receive a final evaluation and an official certificate. Clashes in Aarsal have resulted in substantial damage to three UNICEF learning spaces (tents) affecting education activities of 600 children. In these locations activities will be resumed in the coming days. In other locations activities are ongoing.

Child Protection For the population that has remained in Aarsal, both Lebanese and Syrian children are vulnerable to protection risks and have experienced traumatic events associated with the conflict. The need for additional scaling up of PSS programming in Aarsal will be determined after assessments of the situation can be completed. UNICEF has implemented a 14-month Mine Risk Education (MRE) programme from May 2013 to July 2014, with the University of Balamand and the Lebanon Mine Action Center (LMAC) of the Lebanese Army. The objective was to promote child protection and safety and to enhance capacities of children and their families to prevent injuries and avoid or reduce the risk of all explosive remnants of war including mines, cluster bombs, and unexploded ordnance. The total number of beneficiaries reached by the programme was 89,600 of whom at least 87,000 were children. UNICEF and the University of Balamand with the members of the MRE National Steering Committee, under LMAC supervision, implemented activities including refresher training for 450 MRE activists, MRE awareness sessions, revision and production of MRE materials, and update of the MRE training module with training aids. In July, 24,539 boys and girls benefitted from psychosocial support; total beneficiaries in 2014 are 256,433. 8,997 caregivers also benefitted from learning activities, information and orientation sessions, and emotional and social support activities in July, with a 2014 cumulative result of 86,469. 23 service providers were trained on child protection services and referral pathways over the course of the month, bringing the total trained to 382 this year. Finally, 1,848 vulnerable women and girls received dignity kits in July (17,894 in total in 2014) and 5,770 individuals accessed support activities within mobile and static safe spaces over the month (24,888 in total in 2014).

Health

As a result of clashes in Aarsal, the Rafic Hariri Primary Healthcare Centre (PHC) was damaged and will require structural repair. A local UNICEF NGO partner has continued health service provision to the population in Aarsal through Mobile Medical Units (MMUs). A number of patients (close to 200) who received consultations were found to be suffering from gastro-intestinal infections. Results of the recently completed PHC assessment, conducted by UNICEF with support from the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) are available, 139 PHCs were assessed in the 225 most vulnerable localities. In the assessed PHCs, 57 percent of the beneficiaries were Lebanese, and 43 per cent Syrians. There is a major need for all types of medication at PHCs, including essential drugs (72 percent of PHCs assessed lack a sufficient supply of essential drugs), medication for chronic diseases (67 percent of PHCs lacking sufficient supply), and antibiotics for children and for diarrhoea (49 percent of PHCs lacking sufficient supply). The assessment also enabled UNICEF to identify the gaps present at PHCs, ranging from availability of technical experts, hygiene, to service quality and availability. This gap identification will inform programming priorities, including for inter-sectoral programming on WASH, Child Protection and Education for better quality and more comprehensive health services for Lebanese and Syrians. UNICEF, with IOCC, Relief International, ACF, IMC, Save the Children and Beyond, conducted a Nutrition Screening Campaign from 21 May to 20 June in Bekaa, to screen Syrian refugee children in Informal Settlements for malnutrition and refer them for prevention/ treatment at PHC facilities before their nutritional status deteriorated any further. Over 50 screeners were selected and trained by IOCC and UNICEF for the campaign. Results show that 16,531 children aged 6–59 months were screened for malnutrition in 84 cadastres. Aarsal was not fully covered by the campaign due to security reasons. 828 children were referred to PHC facilities for follow up/ treatment and further investigation. Of those referred by the screeners to PHC facilities, only 518 children visited a PHC facility. 77 cases were diagnosed as Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) and 25 cases were diagnosed as Severe Acute Malnutrition without complications. These children all received treatment at PHCs through UNICEF support which included supply of ready-to-use

Jordan

Situation Overview & Humanitarian Needs The last reporting period has brought to light a number of critical challenges in protection and access for Syrian refugees transiting and being hosted in Jordan. Syrian nationals, increasingly from places as far away as Aleppo and Raqqa, who continue to make their way to border areas to seek refuge. In early August, in coordination with UNHCR, ICRC and IOM, UNICEF travelled to the border area between Jordan and Syria, and met with some 2,000 concerned refugees waiting to cross in two locations, in areas best described as No Man’s Land. The current average time to process these persons in lawless areas which lack services is 35 days, and up to two months in the case of specific groups, such as single males. UNICEF continues to advocate for immediate access for vulnerable groups. Informal Tent Settlements (ITS), which are not sanctioned by the Government of Jordan, have also become a point of concern. ITS lack services and oversight, and authorities are moving refugees to Azraq camp to comply with national directives. More evictions are expected. UNICEF, in collaboration with Reach, is preparing a joint assessment on the situation of children living in the ITS across Jordan. The report is expected to be released by the end of August.

Humanitarian leadership and coordination On 6 August, the first inter-agency cross border operation took place in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 2165 from Jordan, to provide emergency assistance to civilian populations in hard to reach areas of Dara City, Syria. The UNICEF Syria Hub based in the Regional Office in Amman coordinated the UNICEF Syria and UNICEF Jordan Country Office contributions to reach some 10,000 people. A second inter-agency convoy will take place on 19 August in an area still to be determined.

Humanitarian Strategy In 2013, UNICEF focused largely on scaling up emergency response in camps to ensure adequate services to newly arriving refugees. In 2014, UNICEF has turned its focus toward efforts to expand assistance and protection to the 80 per cent of refugees living in host communities, while seeking greater cost-effectiveness and sustainability of operations provided in camp settings. Health and Nutrition activities will continue to focus on protecting the health of infants and young children through emergency as well as standard immunizations, breastfeeding promotion, training for medical professionals on integrated management of childhood illnesses and multiple other initiatives. WASH efforts focus on establishing medium- to long-term reductions in operational costs for essential water and sanitation services, such as through the operation of boreholes, piping systems and wastewater treatment solutions for camp settings, and increased support for overstretched WASH resources in the northern Governorates. Child Protection and Education programmes will focus on psychosocial support and on expanding outreach to underserved refugees and Jordanians in host communities, especially vulnerable children at risk of dropping out of school and entering into child labour or early marriage. UNICEF also seeks to create options for adolescents, including youth who are no longer eligible to return to formal education. UNICEF and other agencies active in the Syrian refugee response have detailed plans and funding requirements under the 2014 Regional Response Plan (RRP6) and the Government of Jordan’s National Resilience Plan (NRP) with implementation achieved through active participation and leadership in sector working groups. RRP6 and the NRP both contain activities in support of the No Lost Generation strategy to bring together humanitarian and development responses in the areas of education, child protection and adolescent opportunities in order to avert a lost generation.


WASH UNICEF WASH in Schools aims to re-function existing WASH facilities in 263 schools selected based on eligibility criteria out of the assessment done in 2013. So far 201 schools have been completed and 59 schools are under rehabilitation. Some 18,374 Syrians and 153,527 Jordanians have benefited from rehabilitation works. In addition, hygiene awareness and distribution of hygiene kits in the rehabilitated schools has benefitted 20,461 Syrians and 158,152 Jordanians, with 3,700 teachers trained as hygiene trainers. In the Host communities, ten water and sewerage projects have been identified as high priority interventions, in areas with high refugee concentration, with tender documents and Bill of Quantities being finalized. In addition, UNICEF has agreed to support the Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ) to improve sanitation services in Balqa, Zarqa, Irbid and Mafraq by renting four Jetting trucks to open all blocked sewers and manholes over the period of two months. UNICEF in cooperation with all NGOs working in Cyber City and King Abdullah Park, held a voluntary day targeting children on self-hygiene. UNICEF delivered 2,500 soap bars to be distributed through the clinic, ACTED, Nour Al Hussain Foundation and Save the Children Jordan to ensure self- hygiene. Regular Hygiene promotion activities are going on in Azraq and Za’atari including schools.

Education In July 2014, over 218,000 school-aged Syrian children were registered as refugees in Jordan, including an estimated 150,000 children eligible for formal education. At the end of the 2013/2014 school year, over 120,000 refugee children were enrolled in school nationwide, including some 100,000 in host communities and 20,000 in camps. However, over 30,000 children who are eligible continue to be out of school, the majority residing in host communities. For the over 65,000 children no longer able to enrol in school, UNICEF continues to work with partners in camps and host communities to create alternative education pathways. At the end of June 2014, UNICEF and partners had supported nearly 12,000 children through informal education and psychosocial development in

host communities, and in Za’atari, Emirati-Jordanian Camp (EJC), and Azraq refugee camps. A partnership will soon be launched for non-formal education. The 2013/2014 school year terminated at the end of June, and over 10,000 children completed school in the camps. It is estimated that a high number of students may have dropped-out due to low attendance and difficulties in catching-up. UNICEF is working closely with the Ministry of Education (MoE) and UNESCO to estimate the number of students who may have failed to complete the academic year, and to assess other key education indicators such as attendance rate. Syrian refugee children enrolled in Jordanian public schools undertook the General Secondary Education Certificate Examination (Tawjihi). Nearly 50 students sat the exam in the camps, and 5 of them (3 boys and 2 girls) passed the Tawjihi with outstanding results, despite all the challenges they have faced. Summer education activities started in camps for over 3,500 children assisted by the MoE to catch-up on parts of the curriculum they missed. The six-day per week programme, including Arabic and English classes, recreational and extra-curricular activities, started on 23 July and will run until 28 August, allowing students to move back into the regular stream when school starts again. There was a delay in the start of the programme since the last SitRep. In host communities, UNICEF’s partners in informal education and Save the Children Jordan are working closely to ensure students’ transition from informal to formal schooling, through intensive outreach and referrals. UNICEF is also collaborating with the MoE in the preparation of the new school year 2014-2015. Distribution of essential school furniture was completed in 64 MoE schools in host communities, and UNICEF and its implementing partner Save the Children Jordan are supporting the MoE in conducting a capacity assessment exercise to identify crowded schools in need for double-shifting. UNICEF and Save the Children Jordan continue to work together for a better future for Syrian children by getting them back to school. Based on lessons learned in 2013, a major Back to School campaign was launched on 5 August. Volunteers will travel throughout the country until end September promoting “Education is My Future’’ campaign, raising awareness of the importance and procedures for enrolment, through a door-to-door visits, information materials, the support of religious and street leaders, and peer-to-peer educators. Save the Children Jordan will also pilot the use of a remote, tablet-based data system to gather real-time education and enrollment related information of Syrian refugee children and their families, in camps and host communities across Jordan.

Child Protection Since January 2014, UNICEF and partners have reached 115,629 children (52 per cent girls) with psychosocial support services through 130 child and adolescent friendly spaces and multi-activity centres in camps (63) and host communities (67). Since the start of the year, over 7,000 children have received specialized case management services, including over 2,900 in the month of July. Furthermore, over 60,850 adults (over 55 per cent women) have been reached with awareness raising messages on prevention and response to violence, protection, and referral about child protection and Gender-Based Violence (GBV). A UNICEF study on early marriage in Jordan was launched on 16 July, finding that the practice of early marriage shows no sign of abating in Jordan. Of all registered marriages in Jordan for 2013, 13% involved girls less than 18 years of age – a figure that has remained relatively consistent for the past decade. Among Syrian refugees living in Jordan, the rate of child marriages has risen from 18% of total marriages in 2012 to 25% in 2013. According to newly released figures, this rate has further increased to 32% in the first quarter of 2014. The report highlights poverty, large family size with many daughters, provision of protection for young girls, tradition, and escaping abusive home environments, as the common factors for child marriage in Jordan. As part of the Gender Based Violence (GBV) prevention and response programme, UNICEF and partners support girls and boys who were married or are in danger of early marriage. UNICEF and partners with work at risk groups to: i) empower through vocational training and targeted advocacy messaging to refugee community leaders, religious leaders and families; ii) promote the right to education, and provide safe spaces to participate in recreational and educational activities/ life skills training; iii) mitigate the consequences of early marriage by providing case management services, psycho-social support and referrals to relevant health and legal services. On the 15 July 2014, UNICEF and UNHCR (with Save the Children technical support) signed with the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) procedures to formalize alternative care for unaccompanied and separated child refugees. The procedures will primarily support the placement of unaccompanied children with foster parents. UNICEF will also support capacity building of MoSD staff for case management and handling alternative care needs. The establishment of these procedures is a major step forward for the Government of Jordan and will be of enormous benefit to the unaccompanied and separated child refugees from Syria in Jordan. In Azraq Camp’s newly opened Village 6, Mercy Corps has activated four Child and Adolescent Friendly Spaces and a playground. The opening of the structures follows the continued arrival of refugees to Azraq Camp and their subsequent placement in the village. Most of the refugee children attending these spaces in July had previously been living in Informal Tented Settlements (ITS) across

11

Jordan. The psychosocial activities provided support children in becoming familiar with their new setting in the camp and gives them a place to meet friends, play and develop a sense of community.

Health In response to Polio Outbreak in the region, UNICEF/ WHO/ UNHCR and the Ministry of Health (MoH) are preparing the second Polio subnational immunization day (SNID) campaign for hard to reach groups/ areas in the host community and Syrian refugee camps to cover all chilldren from 0 to 5 years old, from 10 to 13 August. For the August SNID, the Trivalent oral polio vaccine (TOPV) has been provided by UNICEF to the MoH, with 20,000 information sheets, 3,500 tally sheets and 328 banners. During the reporting period, IOM vaccination team have vaccinated 2,093 Syrian refugees children (6 months to 15 years) against measles; 2,037 Syrian refugees children (0 to 15 years) against polio; and 840 (6 months to 5 years) provided Vitamin A supplements. Routine vaccination for Syrian refugees in camps is ongoing through five fixed Expanded Programme Immunization teams, through which 473 children receive BCG vaccine against tuberculosis and 255 children were fully immunized in the first three weeks of July. In addition, 218 pregnant mothers and 597 non-pregnant women received the required doses of Tetanus Toxoid vaccine. During the same period, 324 New-born Baby Health Kits and 321 mother kits were distributed to new borns and mothers during their discharge from delivery rooms in Za’atari and Azraq camps. Throughout July, a total of 433 children under five years old visited the 16 Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT) corners in Za’atari, EJC and Azraq camps. The majority of cases were watery diarrhoea with no dehydration; only 131 of these were referred to Diarrhoeal Treatment Unites (DTUs) for further investigation and medical treatment, while the rest received Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS). A total of 1,457 ORS sachets were distributed to children following a demonstration on how to make ORS, and dissemination of key messages on how to prevent diarrhoea, the importance of hand washing, personal hygiene and environmental sanitation issues.

Nutrition During July, UNICEF and Save the Children Jordan (SCJ) Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) centres in Za’atari, EJC, Azraq camps, host community and RSTC provided infant and young child feeding promotion and counselling to 2,224 pregnant and lactating mothers. In addition, 12,570 children under five and lactating mothers received nutritional snacks during the reporting period.The project provides nutritional support and guidance, including breastfeeding promotion, complementary child feeding, one-to-one counselling, and health education sessions for pregnant/lactating women in camps and host communities.

Community Mobilization and Behavior Change In July, UNICEF and Save the Children started outreach activities for the Back to School (B2S) campaign in 5 governorates (Jarash, Tafileh, Karak, Maan and Aqaba) to encourage families to register their children in formal schooling. Since early August, UNICEF Education and C4D are working closely with SCJ in outreach activities that started in both Zaatri and Azraq camps and host communities in all governorates. C4D specifically supported the design and production of all B2S Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials, including posters, banners, flyers, booklet, games, bracelets, stickers, flags, and posting all needed and agreed messages that stemmed from FGD with participating groups of children, parents, community and religious leaders in addition to necessary information and contact details. Additional materials were produced to engage all UNICEF programme implementing partners and designated NGOs in the B2S campaign by distributing the IEC materials in their facilities, and by briefing them on the campaign for their positive participation and contribution in outreach activities.

Supply and Logistics In July, UNICEF Logistics distributed school furniture to 40 schools in host communities and also continued with infrastructure set-up and maintenance in refugee camps and host communities.

Iraq Situation Overview & Humanitarian Needs The border with Syria remains open only for “humanitarian cases”. In the last month there has also been a rapid, and massive increase of internally displaced people (IDP) from northern governorates of Iraq into the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KR-I). In light of budget constraints in the Kurdistan Region, and the burden on regional government resources and public services, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has declared a state of emergency. As violence continues especially in the north-west of the country, the experience of multiple displacements increases on a daily basis. The UN agencies are supporting the displaced, as well as others affected by the crisis. In response to the two confirmed cases of polio in Iraq, UNICEF continues to support immunization and awareness campaigns for all children under 5, including those in Syrian refugee camps.

Humanitarian Leadership and Coordination Under the RRP6, UNICEF and other UN humanitarian agencies continue to support humanitarian assistance for the urgent needs of the most vulnerable Syrian refugees and host communities. Following the outbreak of conflict in Anbar and spread of violence to surrounding governorates, the Humanitarian Coordinator officially activated six clusters in Iraq. Among the inter-agency working groups in Erbil, UNICEF leads WASH and Education working groups and the Child Protection sub-working group. The UN agencies and humanitarian partners have worked for coordination of the sector response to Syrian refugees with the cluster response to IDPs to promote an integrated response where possible. UNICEF leads the WASH sector, and works in close coordination with the Disease Surveillance System to monitor and respond to instances of watery diarrhoea. During the reporting period and in advance of the new academic year, UNICEF recruited a dedicated education coordinator to support Cluster leadership. Taskforces were activated to lead the ‘My education, my future’ campaign, strategy and sector advocacy.

Humanitarian Strategy The UNICEF response strategy and priorities in Iraq remain focused on providing access to basic and life sustaining services for Syrian women and children to protect them from further deprivations or exposure to violence. These interventions, organized according to RRP sectors, balance lifesaving and capacity building initiatives and remain engaged with overall need to mitigate disruptions in child development avert a lost generation of children. Concurrently, UNICEF works to strengthen capacities of the Government of Iraq, KRG and Iraqi civil society to monitor and report on grave violations against children in armed conflict and to strengthen response mechanisms for children affected by these violations. A separate Strategic Response Plan exists for the internal displacement crisis due to continued violence in Iraq – a document under review beginning in July. Currently, the humanitarian community in Iraq operates with a fully funded Strategic Response Plan (SRP) for the humanitarian crisis. Additional funding is sought due to emergent and immediate needs.

Summary Analysis of Programme Response (Syrian Refugee Programme)

WASH

In July, UNICEF provided 91,961 Syrian refugees in camps with access to safe drinking water, latrines, bathing facilities, and waste/sanitation services. These communities also benefited from hygiene promotion activities, and 44,560 received hygiene items during the reporting period. Separately, UNICEF distributed additional hygiene kits, which served at total of 12,655 individuals. UNICEF continued to provide critical WASH activities in schools, benefiting 18,450 children.

Education Despite schools being closed for the summer holidays, a number of education activities have been ongoing in the camps and urban areas. The remaining 2,145 children in camp schools who had yet to take their exams completed their assessments in July. An opportunity for re-examination will be available in September for those children who are unable to reach the required level. Given their popularity, NRC operated summer schools and catch up classes began again in the camps in Erbil after Eid and will run until September. UNICEF, in partnership with NRC, developed supplementary catch up materials that are being used in school and at home by over 2,000 children. These materials provide children with the opportunity to boost their learning in a child friendly and practical manner. UNICEF’s implementing partner Save the Children has been providing ongoing catch up classes and summer school activities for Early Childhood Development and basic education children for approximately 510 children. During the reporting period, UNICEF and

Save the Children trained 33 teachers in active learning, catch up methodologies, and classroom management. Catch-up classes will continue to run in September and will provide a bridge between formal and non-formal education. In July, UNICEF continued construction of 5 schools in the urban area and 3 in the camps. Additionally, UNICEF successfully handed over one 12-classroom school in a non-camp setting in Erbil to administration by the Ministry of Education and the completed school in Arbat camp in Sulimaniyah.

Child Protection

During the reporting period, with a view of improving the provision of protection services to children, UNICEF updated the services directory and shared it among the agencies and organisations offering child protection services. UNICEF and IRC also held trainings that improved the case management skills and knowledge of child protection concepts and case management for some 75 staff working in the refugee camps in Erbil and Sulimaniyah Governorates. This will directly contribute to improved understanding of CP needs and referral mechanisms. UNICEF will continue providing on-the-job trainings to the participants to support their utilization of case management tools, confidentiality practices, and supervision techniques. To provide basic psychosocial support, UNICEF continued recreational and non-formal education activities for Syrian children through child friendly spaces. More than 4,215 children participated in the structured activities offered at the CFSs.

Health and Nutrition

The baby hut program, which includes growth monitoring and breastfeeding counselling, was conducted in Syrian refugee camps during reporting period, with approximately 3,000 under five children and 1,500 women of child bearing age benefitting. During reporting period, the program of home visits to newborns successfully continued in all camps. The volunteer nurses from among the Syrian refugee population were trained to identify danger signs in mothers and newborns, and suggest appropriate referrals for sick newborns. Volunteers were also trained to provide breastfeeding counselling and care for Low Birth Weight babies, if required. UNICEF continues to support EPI n Syrian refugee camps and the routine immunization activity is working on regular bases. During the reporting period, 2,300 under 5 children were routinely vaccinated in all Syrian refugees in KR-I. There was good coverage of polio and measles vaccine through routine EPI services, in all three governorates 1,000 children under five children vaccinated with polio and 207 children under one year had been vaccinated with measles during reporting period. In July, UNICEF continued preparations for the launch of the national annual polio campaign in August.

Communications for Development (C4D) The local NGO, Family and Planning Awareness reached 175 refugee women in Domiz Camp through the continued health and hygiene awareness campaigns. A doctor was also present to provide advice to pregnant women. Additionally, a mobilizer paid daily visits to the camp tents to engage with mothers on different health guidelines for each family member.

Turkey

Situation Overview & Humanitarian Needs On 3 August 2014, the Disaster and Emergency Management Agency of the Government of Turkey (AFAD) reported that the total number of Syrians registered and assisted in 22 camps located in 10 provinces was 218,748. According to information from local officials, 596,317 non-camp Syrians have been registered in the 10 provinces with camps and in Mersin. In a statement during a joint press conference with the President of AFAD in early August, the Deputy Prime Minister stated that there are currently 1,104,000 Syrians outside of the camps (only 60% of whom are registered) and that there are still additional spaces in the camps for those living outside. It was also reiterated that Syrians living on the streets (particularly in Istanbul) should be encouraged to reside in camps, as discussions continue about plans for new camp locations. On 15th July, the Governor of Istanbul stated that new measures were being considered to deal with the rising number of Syrians living on the streets of Istanbul, this may include sending refugees to camps. On 13 July, around 1,000 people protesting against Syrians in Kahramanmaras city, attacked a number of Syrians and clashed with police. The protesters blocked roads in the city and refused to disperse despite police warnings, chanting slogans against the Syrian refugees. A number of other similar incidents have also been reported in Gaziantep and Adana.

Humanitarian leadership and coordination UNICEF has continued to be involved in the regular United Nations Country Team (UNCT) Task Force on Syria at the Ankara level, and in January 2014 similar UNHCR led coordination meetings were initiated at the field level in Gaziantep. UNICEF has participated in the protection working group, both at the Ankara and Gaziantep level, and the health, and in the cash transfers/vouchers working group. Since January 2014, a general coordination working group for UN agencies has been actively meeting in Gaziantep and as a result, the Task Force on Syria at the Ankara level now only meets on a bi-weekly basis. The shift of the coordination mechanisms to the field is a welcome response due to the proximity to the Syrian population living in Turkey, access to relevant information and the potential for participation from INGOs and NGOs.

Humanitarian Strategy UNICEF humanitarian work in Turkey is under the Regional Response Plan (RRP6), which details UNICEF priorities and commitments in education, protection, health and nutrition, aligned with the Core Commitments to Children in emergencies. UNICEF maintains partnerships with the Government of Turkey (GoT), AFAD and line ministries. UNICEF also continues to work in non-camp settings and participate in planning resilience, recovery and development work with UNDP, UNHCR other UN agencies. UNICEF Turkey is also promoting the No Lost Generation, initiated with UNHCR, Mercy Corps, Save the Children and World Vision, to reach 400,000 Syrian children in Turley with access to education, psychosocial support, and vocational training. As only 30 per cent of Syrian children are estimated to attend schools in host communities, this will be a key component of the initiative. In 2013, UNICEF initiated a project in camps to build resilience for Syrian youth and children with respite and recreational activities and initiate similar activities in host communities in 2014 with UN agencies and INGO partners. Vulnerable children are more difficult to reach in host communities, but with 51 per cent of Syrians citing a need for some form of psychosocial support for themselves or their families (as indicated in the AFAD host community survey) this activity will also be a priority for UNICEF.


Education Field visits were to camp and non-camp schools supported by UNICEF to monitor activities and finalise arrangements for the beginning of the school year. Aside from the 10 schools constructed by UNICEF and AFAD, UNICEF has also supported 12 non-camp schools with tents, furniture, and air conditioning units. For example in Akcakale, UNICEF has supported a school in the host community with 33 tents and furniture with a current enrolment of 1,452 students, supported by 82 Syrian teachers (47 male, 35 female). In Akcakale district only, there are 1,156 Syrian families (approx. 10,000 people), and with the establishment of the school, children living in the host community are now able to attend school regularly. Catch up classes are also being run in the majority of schools in the camps and schools supported in non-camp settings, for example in Osmaniye schools are currently running catch up classes for 800 students. The Education Working Group on 4 July between UNICEF, AFAD, Ministry of National Education (MoNE) and UNHCR, discussed teacher incentives, and enrolment of Syrians in non-camp and Turkish schools. UNICEF continues to work with MoNE on the school management and teacher compensation policies to ensure that the management systems for schools in the non-camp communities

are ready for the beginning of the school year. The development of these policies also coincides with the on-going development of their policy directive for the education of Syrian children in Turkey to be released by MoNE in the coming weeks. A planning meeting was held on the 25th of July 2014 between UNICEF and UNHCR regarding the August/ September Back to Learning campaign. UNICEF plans to provide school bags and stationary sets to 150,000 Syrian children in camps and non-camp schools along with a communication campaign on the importance of education, and UNHCR will contribute teaching aids. Prior to the campaign, UNICEF will assess the absorption capacity of the schools located in the camps and host communities for each governorate so as to target the campaign to those areas with spaces available. Increased support will also be provided to governorates that have potential spaces for schools but need further assistance through existing UNICEF education programming.

Child Protection A continuation of the Child Protection in Emergencies training programme implemented by UNICEF was held in Adana in July with 28 participant from 19 national and international NGOs working in the field with the Syrian community represented. The training covered violence against children, neglect, basic principles for service provision for unaccompanied minors and separated children, support to field workers, needs assessment and resource mobilisation. The CPiE training program will continue in August with AFAD staff from camps (including camp management), Ministry of Family and Social Policies and Turkish Red Crescent Society. During the period, UNICEF child protection activities began expansion into non-camp settings through partnership with the Government of Turkey and international NGOs. The new partnership with International Medical Corps to support the Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) in Istanbul and Gaziantep for Syrian children, and nutrition surveillance, monitoring, and treatment, is the first partnership with an implementing partner exclusively working with Syrians in host communities. In addition UNICEF has supported AFAD to procure three mobile units for basic disaster risk reduction (DRR) and three to become mobile Child Friendly Spaces. DRR will cover disaster planning, and actions; the mobile CFS will provide recreational and psychosocial activities, and support education.

Health The latest polio campaign round was carried out between June 5 and 10 in six districts of Istanbul, targeting Turkish and Syrian children under 5. The campaign reached 255,000 Turkish children and 15,800 Syrian children under five vaccinated. UNICEF provided 1,500 t-shirts and 1,500 hats to the immunisation teams from the Ministry of Health for the campaign. The Ministry of Health is meeting in August to discuss future rounds of the polio campaign in Turkey targeting Turkish and Syrian children. The technical training for the nutrition survey teams will take place between 27 to 29 August, in Ankara, with the assistance of World Health Organisation trainers. The survey is being implemented jointly with AFAD with the data collection being undertaken between the 1st and the 10th of September 2014 in 9 provinces with high refugee concentration or areas with new arrivals.

Supply and Logistics Due to the situation in Iraq additional supply and logistic colleagues have been assigned to Turkey CO to assist in the creation of Long Term Arrangements (LTA) with Turkish suppliers and to assist in the provision and distribution of assistance to the Iraq CO.

Egypt Situation Overview & Humanitarian Needs Irregular migration and detention have slightly dropped in July, nevertheless at least 307 Syrian children were detained in Egypt attempting irregular migration to Europe since the beginning of the year, including 42 in July. Although children and their families are normally released after a few days in police custody, migration by irregular means remains a cause for concern with dozen of families paying large amounts of money to smugglers, contracting debts and taking life-threatening risks. As of end July 2014, MoE figures indicate that the total number of 4-17 Syrian children enrolled in schools is 32,306 (23,385 children in public schools and 8,921 children in private schools). There is still need to improve the quality and capacity of the primary, secondary and tertiary health care systems and strengthen the referral system. There is also a pressing need to agree between partners on the best way to support the Ministry of Public Health (MoHP) particularly for the treatment of the non-communicable diseases, chronic cases and referral system.

Humanitarian leadership and coordination UNICEF continued leading efforts to coordinate activities with different UN partners, including through participation in a roundtable organized by UNHCR and Save the Children on improving protection systems for Syrian Refugees in danger of irregular migration. The Education Working Group (EWG), co-chaired by UNHCR and UNICEF, initiated a mapping exercise to identify different activities conducted by geographic location and target groups to improve sharing information, coordination among partners and identification of service gaps. UNHCR will upload the map on a portal that will be accessible to all partners for regular updating. Education grants provided by UNHCR to all registered children to cover education related costs such as transport, uniform, materials, will be cut down starting the next school year 2014/2015 to 15,000 beneficiaries as opposed to the 31,701 served last academic year 2013/2014, primarily due to insufficient funding. Eligibility for the education grant is currently under review by the education survey based on an ongoing vulnerability study conducted by UNHC|R. The education survey, conducted by UNHCR to identify out of school Syrian children, has reached 1210 households from the target 2000 households. The preliminary analysis of 1118 household forms have reflected the following: Number of children age 4-17 years is 1,976 of which 11.3% (232) are out of school, 23.6% (466) do not receive education grant, 14.4% (284) enrolled in private schools and 4.3% (86) enrolled in study centres. . In July, UNICEF held a meeting with WHO to coordinate support to MoHP’s primary health services to prevent redundancy and reparation of activities. WHO agreed that UNICEF will support MoHP regarding Maternal and Child health including antenatal care and routine immunization, while WHO will support the non-communicable disease control as well as enhance communicable diseases surveillance system for the early detection of any outbreaks. UNICEF and UNHCR continued coordinating their activities to increase the utilization of the Syrian refugees for the public primary health units. UNHCR had announced to the Syrian refugees that they have to go to the public health premises to receive their needed primary health care. UNHCR had also ensured that for receiving secondary and tertiary health care, Syrian refugees have to be referred from the primary health units of MoHP starting September 15, 2014 in Alexandria and Damietta as a start.

Summary Analysis of Programme Response Health

Since January until the end of June 2014, data collected from the 24 health districts of the 10 governorates revealed that since January 2014 until the end of June number of Syrian under 5 boys and girls that received primary health care and their growth was monitored reached 3,708. Out of those, 68 were diagnosed as mild-cases of underweight where their parents continued receiving awareness sessions regarding the proper child nutrition. Also up until end of June 2014, 629 Syrian women received antenatal and reproductive health services at the primary health units. 68 out of which visited the primary health unite more than once to receive the antenatal care. The repeated visits came as a direct result of outreach and follow-up efforts by the PHUs health teams to encourage Syrian to follow-up. UNICEF continued the support to MoHP to improve quality and timely flow of data regarding health services provided to Syrian women and children from the periphery to central MoHP by field monitoring and assessment for the primary health services

Child Protection

During the month of July 42 Syrian children were detained in cases relating to attempting irregular migration. The children were referred by CARITAS- UNICEF’s partner in Alexandria and have been identified and documented by EFACC, UNICEF legal aid partner, in 4 police stations in the North Cost. Legal and medical assistance was provided to 38 of these children. Furthermore, consumables and hygiene products were distributed. In the reporting period, 278 Syrian boys and girls had access to non-specialized psychosocial support services through 7 Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) in Alexandria and 13 Syrian Children received specialized psychosocial support (making the total of those receiving non specialized psychosocial support to reach 3848 and those who received specialized psychosocial support 521 since January 1st, 2014). In preparation for the program coverage expansion in New Damietta city, a team from UNICEF and its partner NGO TDH has started with a first round of interviews for social workers. 16 candidates have been interviewed so far and a second round of interviews is scheduled for facilitators in the upcoming week.

Education UNICEF continues to support public schools to accommodate Syrian children in public primary education. To date 8,013 Syrian boys and girls are enrolled in UNICEF supported primary schools in five Governorates (Qalubia, Giza, Cairo, Damietta, and Alexandria) where Syrian refugees are most concentrated. No activities at school level were conducted during the reporting period, however, UNICEF continued its planning and coordination meetings with MoE. The supplies procurement process to purchase furniture, computers, musical instruments, and physical education supplies has been finalized for 54 public schools out of the 70. Supplies for these 54 schools are expected to serve 7,731 Syrian children integrate in schools. In July, 27 out of the 54 approved schools started receiving furniture and computers to accommodate for 3,025 Syrian children starting the next school year. To support students that need remedial classes, a plan for video recording selected lessons from the Egyptian curriculum taught by Syrian teachers was developed and awaiting MoE approval. Also, to facilitate enrolment of Syrian children in the upcoming school year, a plan for training middle management in all districts that received Syrian children has been developed and awaiting MoE approval. To improve monitoring, UNICEF, in cooperation with MoE, developed data collection forms to be used starting school year 2014/15. Monitoring reports will be produced on monthly basis through data collection at school level by MoE Statistics Department and field monitoring by UNICEF. Field monitoring will also be conducted to validate data and upgrade program performance. 310 Syrian boys and girls aged 3-5 continue to benefit from the existing community based kindergartens. Plans to establish an additional 30 kindergartens to reach 750 children in Greater Cairo, New Damietta and Alexandria are finally approved by Ministry of Social Affairs and procurement of furniture and educational materials has been initiated by UNICEF.
