While #Euphrates River levels are receding, communities in parts of #Syria remain at risk of flooding and service disruptions.

Humanitarian organizations and authorities continue to support affected communities.

[OCHA Syria @OCHA_Syria]

Yesterday, an OCHA team, sector representatives & local & international NGOs conducted a mission to Quneitra governorate to assess humanitarian needs.
They engaged w/ government officials & community members, incl. female-headed households, to better understand the challenges.

[OCHA Syria @OCHA_Syria]

Increased #Euphrates water levels are impacting communities in Deir-ez-Zor, Aleppo and Ar-Raqqa across #Syria.

OCHA is coordinating the response with humanitarian org and local authorities, supporting preparedness, access, and emergency assistance as the situation evolves.

[OCHA Syria @OCHA_Syria]

Addressing displacement in #Syria requires coordinated action amid significant humanitarian needs across the country.

Humanitarians are working together to support this effort, ensuring solutions are sustainable, inclusive, and grounded in humanitarian principles.

[OCHA Syria @OCHA_Syria]

Eid Mubarak ✨to all those celebrating Eid Al Adha.

May this holy time bring peace, solidarity, and with hope that the future ahead bring greater stability, healing, and progress for communities across the #Syria.

[OCHA Syria @OCHA_Syria]

During the recent OCHA donors visit, communities and recent returnees made one thing clear: the need for safe, dignified shelter and home rehabilitation is urgent.

Now is the time to step up support and help families in #Syria rebuild their lives.

[OCHA Syria @OCHA_Syria]

🚩 Explosive ordnance remains a major threat in #Syria.

It continues to cause civilian harm and prevent people from safely returning home, farming their land, and rebuilding their lives.

Mine action is critical to recovery.

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

Syrians are determined to rebuild and create a future for their children.

But needs are immense. Towns are in ruins. Essential services are severely limited.

OCHA's Donor Support Group, chaired by @GermanyUN, recently visited rural Homs and saw the situation firsthand.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

The best test for humanitarian action is that we create conditions for us to leave.

The work ahead in Syria remains significant, but the immense progress made alongside the Syrian government in 18 months is cause for optimism. We need to stay the course.

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

The OCHA Donor Support Group has concluded its #Syria mission.

In Homs and Rural Damascus, donors heard from communities and partners how coordinated humanitarian action and flexible funding help people affected by years of crisis.

Thanks for supporting @UNOCHA and @OCHAFunds.

[OCHA Syria @OCHA_Syria]

📣 The OCHA Donor Support Group are visiting #Syria this week to witness firsthand the humanitarian situation & the impact of projects supported by the #SyriaHumanitarianFund.

The mission highlights the importance of sustained support for communities affected by years of crisis.

[UN in Syria @UNinSyria]

In Aleppo & Idleb, we witnessed both the immense humanitarian needs & the power of coordinated action.

+5.1 M ppl in need, OCHA’s coordination through the HNRP remains essential to align efforts, prioritize assistance, & support communities on their path from crisis to recovery.

[UN in Syria @UNinSyria]

In Ma'arrat Misrin, I saw how one single explosive remnant of war can put students, farmers and returning families at risk.

Clearing these threats saves lives and opens the way for safe return, agriculture and recovery.
Mine action must be sustained, predictable and scaled up.

[UN in Syria @UNinSyria]

Electricity is not only infrastructure. It is the foundation for return, recovery & daily life.
In Qadi Askar, #Aleppo, the UN Joint Programme enabled UNDP to rehabilitate 18 transformer centres & 50 km of electricity networks, benefiting +100k people.

"In the classroom, I saw what recovery means in its most human form.
Children who lost years of learning are studying again. Children who recently returned to Syria are integrating into the education system."

[UN in Syria @UNinSyria]

"In Ak-Burhan Camp, I met women who have lived through repeated displacement, including time in Al-Hol.

They spoke about dignity, family and their hope to return home and connect with their communities."
