#SyriaConf2020 #SyriaConf2020 today: We are calling on global leaders to scale up support for #Syria'ns in their country and those displaced in the region so that they can have a chance not only to survive, but to rebuild their lives in safety and dignity https://t.co/yMAVuxrpYW The #Syria crisis has forced millions of Syrians out of their homes. Few displaced #Syria'ns and #refugees see themselves returning home or settling down in the coming years.
More needs to be done!

#SyriaConf2020 https://t.co/ZpulP3DfSK Without substantial international support and concrete funding pledges at #SyriaConf2020, the fallout appears stark: #Syria’n #refugees and vulnerable host communities will be the victims of rising poverty and tensions in the region as economies falter. https://t.co/x70swlvcTJ Unless funding and humanitarian access are increased, many #Syria'ns, including those living as refugees in the region, will be pushed to the brink of starvation
https://t.co/lwKuFqiXNf A staggering 9.3 million #Syrian's are now going to sleep hungry and more than another 2 million are at risk of a similar fate
https://t.co/lwKuFqiXNf #Covid19 restrictions, the collapse of the Syrian pound, and the displacement of millions of people have led to an unprecedented number of families in #Syria who are no longer able to put food on the table
https://t.co/lwKuFqiXNf #Syria'ns who have already endured almost a decade of war and displacement are now facing unprecedented levels of hunger leaving millions of people acutely vulnerable to #COVID19

#SyriaConf2020 https://t.co/bHZ88Zahmr Without urgent additional funding, the #Yemeni people are in severe trouble.
@NRC_Norway's @sultanabegums explains the impact of this lack of funding amid #Covid_19 via @trtworld. https://t.co/sDXoprprpc In #Lebanon, 30% of #Syria'n #refugee families live in substandard structures made of plywood & plastic sheets providing minimal protection.
"My husband is trying to repair our shelter with the help of our 10 & 8-year-old sons. They work as if they were adults," says Intisar. https://t.co/w1RhcUvb0d "It's very distressing to live like this. I’m constantly worried about my family & the health of my children. The most challenging part of life here is when your child becomes sick & you can’t take him or her to a doctor to get treatment" - Intisar, a #Syria'n #refugee in #Arsal. https://t.co/5V1CBbq2Oy “On behalf of Abdu and millions of others, we are sounding the alarm,” said NRC’s @sultanabegums. “Warring parties must resolve the stalemate preventing 22 ships from offloading fuel in #Yemen, before this escalates and has dire humanitarian consequences." https://t.co/J9zZYLr11X A fuel crisis is brewing in #Yemen, where water systems can’t run properly without fuel.
Abdu Mohammed lives in a tent with already limited water and told us his fears. “We can stay hungry for one day,” he points out, “but we can’t survive without water.” https://t.co/J9zZYLr11X “Return is not the journey back. The journey is the easy
part” - a female refugee in Jordan
Syrians’ dreams of return seem to be fraught with challenges according to a report by NRC and more than 50 #Syrian and international NGOs

#SyriaConf2020 https://t.co/7NRqmWRqde The renewal of Resolution 2504 authorising cross-border assistance is key to support millions of Syrians in need of aid. There is no alternative, and no possible way to scale up the response to COVID-19 without it. The closure of Al Yarubiyah crossing point last January has already had fatal consequences in the northeast. The already weak healthcare sector in the region has suffered the biggest blow. More than 4 million #Syria'ns outside government control areas depend on cross border aid routes. We urge the UN Security Council to ensure they remain open. Failure to do so will put lives at risk https://t.co/PvRFVLDydS Today we joined 19 other aid agencies in urging the UN Security Council to keep vital aid routes into #Syria open and reopen the Al Yarubiyah crossing. Closing them will have fatal consequences for millions. Read more here: https://t.co/m6DH80ewA4 This is a queue for fuel in Sana’a, #Yemen. Take a look.
Shortages in northern Yemen started two weeks ago. https://t.co/brqHNZaAln "I want to go back to #Syria but it needs to be safe and stable so that we can work and rebuild our home. When safety can be guaranteed and conditions allow for it, my family and I will return" - Moayad, a Syrian #refugee living in Arsal, #Lebanon. https://t.co/SYEkpB4XYY Over 57% of #Syria'n #refugee families are living in overcrowded shelters, below humanitarian standards or in shelters in danger of collapse. Moayad’s family is one of them.
With the support of @ECHO_MiddleEast, he received timber & plastic sheeting to repair his tent in #Arsal. https://t.co/8tdFwsZMad Though responsible for killing or maiming 222 children in #Yemen last year, the #Saudi-led coalition has been taken off the UN global blacklist. @NRC_Norway and 23 other organisations urge @antonioguterres to reconsider this shocking decision. https://t.co/qqnQ5BMrM5 NEW REPORT: Few displaced #Syria'ns and #refugees see themselves returning home or settling down in the coming years.

#Refugees #WRD2020 https://t.co/XXw7AYoXFR “#Covid_19 turned our lives upside down,” says Safaa. My husband & siblings lost their jobs so they can’t provide for us. “NRC's embroidery course is a great opportunity for me to start a business from home to support my family." #Lebanon #Syria'n #Refugees #WRD2020 On #WorldRefugeeDay we highlight the plight of #refugees. “Life as a refugee is very challenging. We can’t afford our basic needs & have mounting debts. It’s hard to make ends meet,” says Safaa, a young #Syria'n girl living in Lebanon since 2014. "My dream is to return home." https://t.co/oHG1Rtijnt In North #Lebanon, we distributed hygiene kits with dish washing liquid, laundry powder, sanitary pads, soaps & shampoo to #Syria'n #refugees.
"NRC’s support helped me save money to buy other items to cover our basic needs,” says Khaled.
Thanks to @KfW_Beirut & @Sida https://t.co/NrMHI58XJr Our response to the air strikes killing 13 civilians in #Yemen, including 4 children: Those "responsible must be held accountable if it is confirmed that this strike violated international humanitarian law."
https://t.co/4EaRUunq3a #Yemen: 13 people killed in air strike, 4 of them children, on the same day the UN’s Children & Armed Conflict report removed the #Saudi Arabia- and #UAE-led Coalition from their blacklist. These lost lives are the reason why Coalition should not have been de-listed Cleaning campaigns encourage street cleaners to keep
up their good work, especially important during #Covid19. “When the community joins us in a cleaning campaign, it encourages us to work harder,” explains Hisham. https://t.co/0Y5NwNtIy8 #Yemen “Nothing is better than seeing my city clean,” says Hisham, a cleaner in #Yemen. Because of #Covid19, he says, people now appreciate his work more.
“Everyone started to respect us and help us in cleaning their neighbourhoods,” he adds.

Thanks for the support @CanadaDev! https://t.co/31lpiTLziy With the support of @CanadaDev, we’ve conducted awareness sessions with 200 #Syrian #refugee women & girls in tented settlements in #Lebanon to promote positive menstrual hygiene practices & to change negative perceptions & social norms about #menstruation! https://t.co/4vhQyuqRVc In the last two months, 200 civilians have been killed by conflict. A #displacement camp was hit. And two hospitals and a clinic attacked. Every day across #Yemen, #aid workers deal with the aftermath.

https://t.co/KXYG6JiqVs During #Jordan's curfew to limit the spread of #COVIDー19, @NRC_Norway team has been providing essential support to #Syria'n #refugees in Zaatari camp.
With our partners @UNHCRJordan and @UNICEFmena we gave cash support to over 13,500 households and over 4000 hygiene kits https://t.co/1rdqGCtowV We first shared this image a month ago. Even now, while #Covid19 is tearing through #Yemen, nothing has changed.
In a single week (17 - 23 May), 3,500 people fled and 156 airstrikes fell.
This is heart-breaking. It is outrageous. It must stop. https://t.co/vmakhAaMhf World leaders have pledged only half the aid #Yemen needs to avoid starvation and fight #Covid19.
There is a shocking discrepancy between what has been spent to fight this war, and what has been pledged to save innocent civilians from its effects. https://t.co/g8RCPmaWbb “Millions of #Yemen'is are staring down the double barrel of starvation and a global #pandemic ... money alone is not enough when people are still fleeing from bombs & crossfire, and their hospitals attacked” - @NRC_Egeland via @nytimes

But just as #COVID_19 cases skyrocket, funding cuts threaten #aid for 5.5 million people.
This is not the time to cut back, but #ScaleUpYemenAid.
#InvestInHumanity https://t.co/xW2iwaOyhJ Millions of Yemenis like Mohammed are caught in a terrible dilemma about #Covid_19: stay safe, or eat?
That’s why it’s critical we continue our food and hygiene activities. It’s a lifeline we simply cannot cut.
Now is not the time to scale back, but #ScaleUpYemenAid. https://t.co/Bmp6aTLVt0 Our team in Anbar, #Iraq has started building 30 water points for displaced families to ensure that they can access clean water.
Each water point will be able to provide 800 people with water. https://t.co/Gy6ucPRd9h The protection measures imposed by governments to counter the current pandemic has caused many displaced families to lose their livelihoods.
As a response our team in #Iraq has distributed food items to 258 households in west Anbar. https://t.co/cwuAZ27Rkq As a result of the protracted displacement in #Iraq, families that live in and out of the camps are struggling to secure enough food, clean water for their families and access to healthcare.
#COVID__19 doubled the challenges that 1.5 m displaced Iraqis are facing. https://t.co/kTgJ7LSDMs Saleh’s family was one of many forced out by the fighting in #Yemen. When health advice is to stay at home, thousands like him are still fleeing.
The crisis in Yemen is caused by the war. Now, #COVID_19 is a double disaster.
We need a #ceasefire, and to #ScaleUpYemenAid. https://t.co/AUNG95e2Gx As #COVID_19 cases in #Yemen skyrocket, we are one of many aid agencies stepping up our hygiene response. Soap, clean water & information are all needed to halt the spread of the virus.
Now is not the time to cut back, but to #ScaleUpYemenAid.
#InvestInHumanity https://t.co/xJ8jjVDC0s In the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, we continue to deliver a lifeline to families in #Yemen, many of whom are just one step away from famine.
