HIGHLIGHTS
Almost 123,000 IDPs across 310 IDP sites in north-west Syria were reportedly affected by recent floods. Over 22,000 tents were either destroyed or damaged. The flooding has resulted in one death and three injuries.
The UNHCR co-led Protection, CCCM, and Shelter/NFI Clusters are coordinating the response to the urgent needs of the affected population. As floods are a regular occurrence in this season, the Clusters had developed contingency plans that enabled them to effectively respond. The response is ongoing, and the Clusters continue to monitor the development of the crisis, adjusting their plans accordingly.
