INTRODUCTIONSignificant levels of humanitarian needs persist for people throughout Syria with an estimated 11.7 million people in need of assistance, 40 per cent of whom are living in areas of major need. Despite a reduction of violence in some areas, ongoing hostilities in parts of the country still expose civilian populations to violence and threats to their lives, with thousands forced to flee for safety every day, particularly in the northwest and northeast regions. The humanitarian community continues to deliver assistance through various response modalities to an average of 6.1 million people every month across Syria, of which 61 per cent went to areas of highest severity of need.

In the last few months, a significant escalation of hostilities in the northwest has caused large scale displacement and a worsening humanitarian situation. In response, cross-border humanitarian actors have significantly scaled up their operations, while Damascus-based humanitarian actors have initiated preparedness measures and pre-positioned stock in anticipation of displacement to Government-controlled areas. In the northeast, a major influx of population from southern Deir-ez-Zor Governorate to Al Hol camp in Al-Hasakeh Governorate has called for a rapid increase in assistance to the camp. Efforts to provide assistance to people in Rukban along the Syrian-Jordanian border at origin, in transit and at destination, are also taking place. Additionally assistance is being scaled up in southwest Syria and parts of Hama and Homs governorates.

These emergencies have necessitated the diversion of ongoing programming to respond to needs putting an already stretched response under significant strain. Partners report gaps and shortages of commodities, as a result of the scale and complexity of response required. Given that affected populations have been displaced multiple times and experienced shocks such as floods, their vulnerabilities have significantly evolved. Partners have utilized resources from ongoing funding to respond to these needs and as a result new funding is required. Without donor support, partners will not be able to scale up their operations and respond to both new and existing needs.

As of 7 July, 23.2 per cent or US$771 million of the $3.32 billion required under the 2019 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) was funded, as per the Financial Tracking Service (FTS). As FTS is entirely dependent on systematic and timely reporting by donors and project owners, this critical funding gaps analysis aims to provide greater insight on gaps based on current resource allocation by sectors, as well as a status update of commodity pipelines from selected UN agencies and some partners as approximately one third of the 2019 HRP requirements relate to commodities. The identification of critical funding gaps does not lessen the need for full funding of the HRP requirements, nor do the identification of specific gaps devalue the importance of unearmarked funding. The Humanitarian Pooled Funds remain the quickest modality for disbursing funding to partners. However, with planned July disbursements, there will be limited funds to cover critical gaps in the HRP through a standard allocation in August.

AGENCY COMMODITY PIPELINE FUNDING REQUIREMENTS¹

Approximately one third of the 2019 HRP requirements relate to commodities. Funding will enable partners to respond to needs in time and avoid pipeline breaks. Partners reported that they expect pipeline breaks in the next two to three months and procurement of such commodities will take a few months. Approximately $367 million is required immediately to respond to needs as detailed below.

SECTOR PRIORITIES¹0

As of 7 July, the Health Sector is only 8.5 per cent funded. Further provision of funds is urgently needed to enable the Health Sector to provide health services for vulnerable people, including populations living in areas of acute need, regions witnessing increased hostilities, and overburdened communities. A resilient health system is able to absorb internal or external shocks while sustaining health delivery and protecting the population which it serves. Failure to invest in essential health services – including the rehabilitation/refurbishment of health structures and capacity-building of health care workers – will lead to increased mortality and morbidity among an already-vulnerable population. Specifically, there is an urgent need to scale up or maintain the response in areas which have recently witnessed changes in control, to enable Syria-hub partners to deliver essential health services in these areas. At the same time, recent hostilities have triggered considerable displacement in northwest Syria and have placed health partners operating in the area under considerable strain. In northeast Syria, there is an ongoing need to address the lack of health services, particularly in IDP sites. The Health Sector is focused on delivering a holistic package of humanitarian support to enable the health system to respond to emergencies and perform its essential functions.

The Shelter/NFI Sector component of the 2019 HRP comprises 59 projects with a total funding requirement of $533.5 million. As of 7 July 2019, the Shelter and NFI sector 2019 response plan is funded at only 4 per cent.Since May, around 330,000 people have been displaced in Idleb and north west Syria as a result of an escalation in hostilities. Partners have assisted over 111,000 people with NFI kits, and almost 13,000 kits have been released from the Turkey hub contingency stock. There are currently 18,000 NFI kits in the pipeline. The ability of the sector to respond to any further escalation or displacement will be contingent on donors supporting partners.A key gap in the shelter response and a priority for the sector is the implementation of shelter repair and rehabilitation projects. These projects are central to any shelter response in Syria as they facilitate improving basic

HEALTH

PROTECTION

SHELTER & NON-FOOD ITEMS

The Protection Sector and its Area of Responsibility appealed for $352.6 million for 102 projects as part of 2019 Syria HRP. Currently, the sector is only funded at 8 per cent. The Protection sector and its Area of Responsibility require flexible and sustained funding to maintain regular activities, and respond to needs in emergency situations in the northwest and northeast. Rapid deployment of mobile teams remains critical to address urgent protection needs arising from renewed hostilities or sudden displacement particularly in the absence of adequate and sustained static response capacity. These teams provide basic protection response and mitigation of protection risks, with a focus on the needs of women and children. Overall funding priorities include sustained community-based integrated protection services, including legal assistance on civil status documentation and housing, land and property; specialized comprehensive gender-based violence (GBV); child protection services (especially through case management capacity) and; sustained and increased humanitarian mine action services. Donor limitations that restrict funding for activities for specific groups of people (such as families associated with former ISIS fighter), or based on the nature of activities (such as strengthening technical capacity of government institutions responsible for providing civil documentation, or cash programming in northeast Syria) are resulting in a critical gaps in relation to vital protection services and limiting the ability of protection actors to provide assistance accordance to need.Area of Responsibility Priorities:Mine Action: Continued and sustained funding is needed to enhance the protection of civilians through the delivery of age and gender sensitive explosive hazard risk education, and to bolster specialized services assisting survivors of explosive hazards and their families. The expansion of explosive hazard survey and clearance operations is a critical priority as explosive hazards remain a daily threat to civilians and impact the safe delivery of humanitarian aid within contaminated communities. GBV: Funding gaps, limited funds channeled directly to local organizations and short funding cycles have severely affected the continuity of GBV services in 2019. It has also led to the closure of a number of GBV projects and women and girls safe spaces (WGSSs), leaving women and girls unserved and therefore unable to seek support. Currently, GBV specialized services are still not available in 6,561 communities in Syria, in part due to limited funding. Limited funding increasingly forces GBV actors, many local Syrian NGOs, to decide between emergency response and ongoing programming, especially in northwest Syria where GBV actors are providing emergency, life-saving support to the ongoing large-scale displacement. Immediate funding is needed to support GBV risk mitigation, prevention and response specifically with a particular focus on vulnerable groups such as adolescent girls, widows, divorced women and those living with disabilities. Additional funding is also needed to address the needs of men and boys that have experienced sexual violence, PSEA and Sexual Harassment. Multi-year funding ensures sustainability of programmes but also provides an opportunity to tackle the root causes of GBV which lay in gender inequality.

Child Protection: Investment from donors is required to deliver sustained psychosocial support programmes that provide a sense of normality, stability and structure to children and reduce the risk that short-term distress leads to longer term concerns. The expansion of specialised child protection services remains a critical priority to support child survivors of violence to cope and recover from their experiences. This includes unaccompanied and separated children and children associated with armed groups and forces. Reaching children, families and their communities with safety messaging is essential to generate behaviour changes that minimise a range of protection threats. Child protection work requires carefully planned and sustained investment from humanitarian actors and donors alike to maximise quality and impact.

(10) The CCCM sector indicated that other sectors have already reported relevant needs to respond to needs of displaced populations. As such, the sector opted not to provide a separate update on priorities.

The 2019 WASH Sector strategy continues to focus on inseparable and complementary emergency and resilience-oriented objectives. Sector efforts to restore or keep water, sanitation, and solid waste management infrastructure at minimum levels of operation interlink with and complement life-saving WASH interventions such as the emergency provision of water, sanitation and solid waste facilities and services, and WASH NFI distributions. Likewise they improve hygienic behavior and practices of the most vulnerable people. Failure to simultaneously invest in interventions covering all highlighted below critical WASH needs will lead to increased mortality and morbidity among an already vulnerable population and will the impact needs in other sectors. The WASH sector has 68 projects from 60 partners across all response hubs in the 2019 Syria HRP with an overall requirement of $277 million. As of end June 2019, the WASH Sector is only 15 per cent funded while 24.5 per cent funding was reported at the end of June 2018 for the 2018 sector requirements that were valued at $279 million.For July-September 2019, the WASH Sector is appealing for $75.4 million to respond to emerging emergency and protracted systemic needs. These include, among others, access to essential WASH NFIs and hygiene promotion and awareness campaigns; the provision of lifesaving emergency water facilities and services, lifesaving emergency sanitation/sewage facilities and services, solid waste management and vector control facilities and services, water disinfectants to water treatment stations, repair and rehabilitation of water systems to prevent further deterioritation.

As of May 2019, the Nutrition Sector delivered life-saving nutrition curative and preventative nutrition services in 1,381 high severity communities. Approximately 2.45 million children, pregnant and lactating mothers have not received any nutrition services despite the vast need. As of 1 July, the Nutrition Sector is only 13.9 per cent funded.SMART surveys conducted recently in northwest Syria reveals that one out of five children is already stunted, which means that they are at risk of losing their educational and productive potentials. Ongoing displacement is compounded by food insecurity and limited free access to health services. Poor infant feeding practices have also contributed to a 48 per cent increase in severe malnutrition cases compared to 2018. The Nutrition situation in northeast Syria remains concerning particularly at Al Hol camp where additional response is needed to meet the needs of children under the age of five, pregnant and lactating mothers. Likewise, needs in Raqqa and Deir-ez-Zor require scale up of response interventions. The Damascus hub is only funded at one per cent of what it needs to implement as per the humanitarian work plan. Additional resources are needed to ensure a healthy nutrition supplies pipeline across all response hubs. If resources are not in place, the following impact affected populations is expected;92,000 acutely malnourished boys and girls will be at increased risk of

The ERL Sector analysis shows that needs remain high across Syria and new needs are emerging further with the continuation of a relative absence of hostilities in most parts. In particular, the southern governorates of Daraa, Sweida and Quneitra, as well as Deir-ez-Zor in the northeast, show a continued severity, chiefly in the areas of debris removal, solid waste management, restoration of basic services and assistance to persons with disabilities. Livelihood needs of youth and mainstreaming of social cohesion and community security remain high as well.

Approximately $220.7 million is identified as critical funding gap to address immediate food provision and agriculture and livelihoods needs of affected populations. Approximately $100.7 million is required to provide ready to eat (RTE) rations for newly displaced persons for one to two weeks before transitioning to monthly food rations, and provision of food rations for a duration of two months.¹¹ This type of assistance will be provided by World Food Programme (WFP) and NGOs with WFP increasing kcals requirements gradually to 2,100 kcal in cross-border and camp locations for July-December 2019. WFP’s funding shortfall is $24 million for cross border and camp locations for this type of assistance in the next six months. The estimate of funding requirements for other partners in Syria is $76.7 million mainly for responses from the Damascus and Turkey hubs.$120 million is required to address the agriculture and livelihoods component of the 2019 HRP for the next six months. Such funding will facilitate the provision of agricultural inputs and livelihood support at the household level, emergency support to livestock herders such as animal health services, as well as the rehabilitation of critical productive infrastructure such as irrigation. Such priorities rely on the fact the agriculture and livelihoods requirements were not sufficiently funded over the last two years leading to a lack of sufficient response to the residual needs of returnees in recent hotspots such as East Ghouta, south west Syria, Aleppo (Afrin and Tal Rafat), Hama and Idleb, and the impact of the drought during the winter period of 2017/2018 resulting in the lowest production levels since the beginning of the crisis. Likewise, the above funding requirements reflect the need for immediate action on the recent outbreak of fires in various parts of the country, localised flooding incidences in crop fields and prevalence of crop diseases, in particular yellow rust which affects wheat crops.

The Education Sector urgently requires $89 million to provide 1.4 million children access to safe welcoming quality education services. The sector prioritises restarting learning in areas of the northwest facing hostility-induced displacement and destruction of education infrastructure, areas of the northwest and south that have recently changed control where education services has yet to restart; and areas of the northeast where there is a historical lack of education support despite systemic and growing critical needs and increasing number of IDPs, refugees and returnees. Investments will focus on ensuring demand of education through the provision of required teaching and learning materials, back-to-learning campaigns seeking community and child participation, and ensuring the ability of the education system to absorb and retain students through establishing and increasing the capacity of formal and non-formal education infrastructure combined with capacity building of teachers and educators. More than eight years into Syria’s protracted humanitarian crisis, education should not be limited to a supply driven short-term interventions. Due to the context education services need to have psychosocial support, for students and for school personnel, embedded in them with health and hygiene, as well as mine risk awareness messages being promoted simultaneously. Education needs should be addressed on the foundation of sufficient access to other basic needs (protection, food, shelter, health, WASH, etc.).

living conditions, safety and security of households in need, both for those displaced and those in host communities or areas of return, as well as respond to multiple needs of households. Likewise, the availability of adequate housing, which can facilitate returns, can help to lower rents, and reduce overcrowding. Additionally, such housing is more cost-effective in the mid to long-term. Finally, they are also an important component of emergency response as several partners are able and willing to implement new shelter or upgrade projects to provide crucial assistance to those who moved into abandoned buildings as the recent Idleb experience demonstrates. Funding is urgently needed to fill gaps in this area. Winterisation is a time-critical and life-saving activity. Given administrative and procurement lead times, in order to ensure that assistance reaches those most vulnerable at the right time, preparation and funding should start now. Areas that have become newly accessible to the Syria hub are currently underserved, even though they have recently seen intense levels of hostilities. There is a need for support to partners who are able to reach these areas.

HOTSPOTS - FUNDING GAPS¹²

Recent developments in the northwest and the northeast have triggered waves of displacement and further complicated humanitarian access and the provision of humanitarian assistance. Renewed hostilities in the northwest where an estimated 3 million people live (previously known as de-escalation zone), including 1.4 million IDPs, and a combination of ongoing hostilities,¹³ weather-related hazards and population movements in the northeast where around 1.65 million people in need; including nearly 650,000 IDPs, have resulted in a significant scaling up of operations. Given the scale of the emergency and the multiple displacements, the availability of tents, shelters and NFI kits are critical for an effective response.

NORTHWEST SYRIAA dramatic escalation in hostilities, including near daily shelling and airstrikes in and around the so-called de-militarized zone has resulted in approximately 330k people displaced, mostly to central and northern Idleb Governorate, as well as to parts of northern Aleppo. To sustain current levels of response and ensure appropriate scale up of operations, humanitarian partners need approximately $242 million as soon as possible.

A readiness plan has been activated to respond to the population affected by the current increase in hostilities. The plan articulated the strategy to deal with up to 700,000 people affected, at an estimated cost of $216.5 million. To date, some 330,000 people have displaced in the hostilities, and there are critical funding gaps to cover their needs. NGOs are reporting their funding may run out in a matter of weeks.

A preparedness plan to respond to 100,000 people displaced to Government-controlled areas has been put in place by partners registered in Damascus, (The preparedness planning is based on estimates that 100,000 IDPs may arrive to Government-controlled areas and/or that up to 200,000 people may return to areas of origin, mainly in northern Hama). The plan requires $25.8 million.

PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED WITHIN SYRIA16

According to a recent inter-sector analysis used to inform funding allocations for the Syria Humanitarian Fund (SHF), a number of geographical areas have been identified as underserved and requiring urgent assistance.

These include: • Access restricted areas, mainly in northwest Aleppo, Deir-Ez-Zor and Quneitra governorates; • Areas that have come under the control of the Government of Syria in 2018 and which are currently underserved, as well as areas with a high concentration of IDPs of returns, including Dar’a, Homs, Hama, Idleb and Rural Damascus governorates; • Highly populated areas (including in Lattakia and Tartous governorates);• Last resort shelters (in Raqqa and Al-Hasakeh governorates). In addition, the analysis highlighted the need to prioritise the following critical cross cutting issues including income generation (ERL, Education, and Food sectors); people with disabilities (ERL, Education and Health sectors); communicable and water-borne diseases (ERL, Health and WASH sectors); women and children (Education, Health, Nutrition, Protection, Shelter/NFI sectors), as well as education, health, nutrition, protection and WASH awareness campaigns.

Note that $13 million was allocated to the northeast of Syria mainly to the Al Hol camp by the SHF to serve 1.4 million beneficiaries

NGOs operating in northeast have also identified critical gaps both for populations in and out of camps related to significant population movements leading to life-saving assistance needs and lack of funding for enabling long-term programmes. There are also considerable needs related to access to basic services and restoration of infrastructure with livelihood interventions and repairs/rehabilitation of infrastructure/housing remaining extremely underserved in out of camp areas. Following the arrival of over 64,000 people to Al Hol camp from areas of southeast Deir-ez-Zor between December 2018 and April 2019, the number of people living in camps in the northeast has almost tripled. Many of these people arrived at Al Hol in a dire situation, with high levels of trauma-related injuries, malnutrition and psycho-social needs. The scale and severity of these needs required a significant recalibration of response efforts from other camps and out of camp locations. Below is a summary of priorities for camps and out of camp locations;
