2 Syria Humanitarian Overview: Daily life inside Syria continues to be a struggle for millions of conflict affected people living with limited access to basic services such as education, water, health care and electricity. The cold winter weather is further exacerbating the challenges of daily life in Syria. In November, access was a particular challenge in the cities of Homs and Hama as roads were frequently closed or disrupted due to airstrikes and fighting. Civilian displacement continued during the month with over 86,000 people displaced once more in Aleppo, Hama, Homs, Dar a, Deir-ez-Zour, Hassakeh and Raqqa. Estimated Affected Population (*) revised November Child figures are calculated based on estimate of 44.9% of population are children under 18 years old. Total People in Need * 13,500,000 Children in Need (Under 18) 6,000,000 Total Displaced Population * 6,500,000 Children Displaced 2,800,000 People in Hard to Reach Areas 4,490,000 Children in Hard to Reach Areas Up to 2 million Children People in Besieged Areas 360,000 Local ceasefire agreements have created opportunities for UNICEF through interagency convoys to provide critical life-saving humanitarian supplies to affected areas such as in Al-Waer in Homs and Qudsaya city in Damascus. On 26 November, an airstrike hit a water treatment and intake facility on the Euphrates River which cut the water supply to Aleppo, Syria s largest city, for an entire day leaving millions without access to clean water. UNICEF has put in place a contingency plan which includes the pre-positioning of humanitarian supplies in order to be able to respond quickly to any openings of humanitarian space. Education: In November, as part of the Back to Learning Campaign, UNICEF distributed essential learning supplies including schoolbags, textbooks and stationary to 428,315 children, including 5,732 textbooks to children living in a besieged area of Deir-Ez-Zour city. So far this year, UNICEF has distributed learning supplies to 578,000 children. A further 18,000 children were provided with non-formal education opportunities bringing the total to 454,000 since January. Since the beginning of the year UNICEF has rehabilitated 105 schools and set up 187 classrooms providing an improved learning environment for 107,000 children. WASH: UNICEF is providing up to 380,000 liters of fuel per month to help ensure the continuous supply of water to 2.1 million people living in Western and Eastern Aleppo. Complimenting this intervention, UNICEF is trucking water to 140,000 people living in shelters and neighborhoods that have been cut off altogether from the main network. In Raqqa, UNICEF has supported the cleaning of 54 water storage tanks benefiting half a million people as a preventative measure against disease outbreaks. So far this year, almost 7.5 million people have had access to improved water and sanitation services through rehabilitation of public infrastructure. Health and Nutrition: From November, UNICEF supported the Ministry of Health to conduct a sub-national Polio campaign reaching 208,334 children in high risk areas including in the refugee camp of Yarmouk and some districts in Jobar. A further 121,000 women and children have accessed basic health services through UNICEF supported health centers and mobile clinics (945,000 since January). In a breakthrough in access for the nutrition programme, UNICEF managed to dispatch micronutrient sachets to Raqqa to benefit 24,000 children. So far this year, 610,000 children under 5 have benefitted from nutrient supplements and 11,900 children have been treated for acute malnutrition. Child Protection: More than 70,000 children participated in psychosocial activities during November out of which more than 62,000 children took part in structured and sustained psycho social support activities, including 650 children in hard to reach areas. Since January, more than 620,000 children have received psychosocial support. UNICEF has thereby surpassed the target set for the year. As part of the expansion of mine risk education, a total of 879,000 children have been sensitized on the dangers of unexploded remnants of war since the beginning of the year. Adolescents and Youth: In November, UNICEF and partners supported more than 26,000 adolescents and youth by providing access to life and vocational skills building, psycho social support services and opportunities for civic engagement and adolescent development and participation (374,000 since January). As a result of insecurity, four UNICEF-supported Adolescent Friend Spaces in HTR areas (three in Deir-ez Zor and one in Idlib) were forced to close. Non-food items (NFIs): UNICEF delivered seasonal clothing support to 28,000 children during the month including over 2000 in hard to reach areas. Since the launch of the 2015/16 winter plan, UNICEF has procured 380,000 kits of the total 500,000 planned. Distribution is ongoing. Security Council Resolution 2165/2191: In the last month, through the mechanisms outlined in Security Council Resolution 2165/2191 UNICEF has delivered polio vaccines in support of the 11 th round of vaccinations reaching nearly 820,000 between October and November. Emergency health kits have provided the necessary medicines for 40,000 consultations, as well as emergency nutrition supplies for 2,500 patients. Cross border convoys have provided household level water treatment solutions to near 92,000 persons and water treatment chemicals that provide safe water for nearly 400,000 individuals in November. 2

It is expected that the number of beneficiaries reached by UNICEF will be therefore gradually declining, approaching the target set for UNICEF. 11 UNICEF results have decreased since January, because UNICEF has passed some of their solid waste activities to government partners. Results are anticipated to reduce over the coming months as more activities are handed over. 7

To support the PHC activities of the MoSA, UNICEF supplied 20,160 bottles of Benzyl Benzoate lotion, 13,561 different essential medications and 100 firstaid kits to the SDCs. UNICEF supported the training of 60 health staff from MOSA in nutrition screening and referral. This training will ensure timely detection of acute malnutrition among vulnerable children under five receiving social services at SDCs. Overall acute malnutrition trends remain stable, and nutrition interventions are aimed at strengthening emergency nutrition preparedness and response capacity of government counterparts. Child Protection: On 6 November 2015, with the support of UNICEF, the Higher Council for Childhood (HCC) chaired by the Ministry of Social Affairs submitted the 4 th and 5 th combined State Party report to the Committee on the Rights of the Child. The drafting of this report was used as an opportunity to aggregate child rights related data for Lebanon, as well as to build the capacity of the HCC and representatives of various line Ministries to better understand child rights as stipulated in the CRC and to monitor its implementation. On the occasion of the annual 16-day campaign of activism against GBV, UNICEF and other UN agencies organized events in all regions of Lebanon with GBV partner organizations. Events were held in 234 locations, involving children, women, girls, and boys and community leaders and gatekeepers. The campaign started on 25 November 2015 and ended on 10 December 2015, reaching 52,105 individuals. In Akkar, for instance, UNICEF and partners organized puppet shows and interactive theatre events for women and girls living in Informal Settlements. The topics discussed during this interactive shows were chosen in consultation with the community, such as discrepancies of income/wages between men and women engaged in the agriculture sector, child marriage, and women s rights in inheritance. 12 Sector and UNICEF targets refer to children of 6 to 14 years enrolled in formal basic education. However the results for this age group are not currently available, and reflect enrolment across all ages (gross-enrolment). Results will be revised once the age-specific data is available. 13 The polio immunization campaigns target all children under the age of five years, including internally displaced people, host community members and Syrian Refugee children. Since more than 97 per cent of all Syrian refugees in Iraq reside in the KR-I, the 3RP funds for polio immunization are only used in Dahuk, Erbil and Sulaymaniyah Governorates. Immunization campaigns in the rest of Iraq are funded under the SRP. 8

9 Education: 152,269 non-lebanese children have been enrolled in formal public schools, and the enrolment is continuing. In November, UNICEF participated in a series of meetings in all governorates organized by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) at central level to facilitate the enrolment and retention of Lebanese and Syrian children in the public education system. The MEHE regional office and the school directors of the second shift schools of each governorate attended these meetings which aimed to provide clarity on the recently issued Standard Operating Procedures (SOPS) regarding school enrolment, class distribution and other issues pertaining to the organization of education. The SOPS were issued to regularize the enrolment of children in the public education system and to provide guidance to school directors to allow for a better understanding of this process and address challenges and misperceptions. Recurring issues are related to schools asking students for registration fees, residency papers and vaccination certificates. UNICEF is gathering these cases on a regular basis and raising them with the Ministry of Education at central level for follow-up. With the support of UNICEF, the Ministry of Public Health is sending vaccination teams to all public primary schools to vaccinate both refugee and Lebanese children. WASH: On October 13 th, there were 18 suspected cases of Typhoid in Informal Settlement 008 in Haoush el Oumara in Bekaa. Save the Children International and Beyond Association which are the implementing partners of UNICEF WASH and Health Sections, respectively, requested UNICEF support to take measures in Informal settlements in this area in order to prevent an outbreak. Beyond Association ensured immediate treatment and referral of patients through the deployment of Mobile Medical Units on site, while Save the Children mobilized efforts to eliminate the source of contamination. WASH interventions included a cleaning campaign of WASH infrastructures, conduction of Health Promotion sessions, distribution of 90 Hygiene kits, 100 Baby kits, 40,000 aquatabs and soap. The main source of contamination was suspected to come from the surrounding 24 private shallow wells that were therefore closed while water trucking was increased and provided on a daily basis. Since the completion of the intervention early November, no other cases were reported in the vicinity. Winter Programme: In winter UNICEF will provide support to over 380,000 vulnerable children living in informal settlements (IS) and host communities to protect them from the harsh winter conditions. Of these, 191,114 children (100,000 Syrian, 75,000 poor Lebanese and 16,114 poor Palestinian) will receive winter cash transfers. The objective of these $40 one-time cash transfers, for each child between 0 and 15 years of age in Informal Settlements, as well as the poorest Lebanese and vulnerable Palestinian children, is to provide their households with the means to cover a portion of their winter expenses. As of November 2, 2015, UNICEF started the distribution of fuel for heating and electricity to 581 high-altitude public schools (500m above sea level), which will benefit some 150,000 first and second shift students (Lebanese and Non-Lebanese). Fuel was also provided to high-altitude UNRWA schools for 2,600 Palestinian children. By the end of November, 90% of the fuel distribution of the first round was completed. In addition, assessments in all Informal Settlements were initiated with partners using a newly upgraded Uni-Supply App for cash transfer. Preparations with beneficiary communities and logistic assessments are on the way to support 40,000 families that are residing in hard to reach locations, who do not have access to nearby ATM machines. They will receive age-appropriate winter-clothing kits for their girls and boys in December. UNICEF also anticipates intervention for the provision of emergency support through partners for families severely affected by winter storms with a fully stocked contingency supply stock and updated contingency plans for 50,000 children and their families.

PAPs have now been completed and are being implemented in 9 southeastern provinces, while 10 more are currently in development. Child Protection: 4,039 children benefitted from psycho-social support (PSS) in Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) and Adolescent Friendly Spaces in November, bringing the total to 43,908 children reached since the beginning of the year or nearly 88% of UNICEF s 2015 target. With UNICEF partner Support to Life in Şanlıurfa, a total of 575 children at-risk or engaged in child labour have benefitted from psycho-social support activities this year. Approximately 250 of these children were assessed as requiring additional support, of whom 104 were referred to publicly available services, and 12 received counselling, legal aid and other direct support. Despite the increased needs on the ground, significant challenges remain in implementing non-formal education programmes, including a lack of partners with sufficient experience and capacity to quickly scale up activities. 18 UNICEF results are based on MEHE estimated numbers shared on RACE executive Meeting.

These high risk cases included cases of child labor, early marriage, sexual harassment, unaccompanied children, children held or who had been held in detention, and children requiring resettlement or who were being exposed to parenting violence. The cases presented by INGOs were referred to appropriate social services for follow up. This month, UNICEF s implementing partners also provided case management and psychosocial support to 755 Syrian children bring the total to 3,647 children reached with specialized services since 1st January This month, 1,762 Syrian children and adolescents had access to non-specialized community based CP and PSS through UNICEF s implementing partners marking a total of 15, 141 Syrian children reached with community based services since 1st January Syrian children had access to structured, sustained child protection and PSS programs (a total of 1,981 Syrian children since January 2015). UNICEF provided non-food items (clothes, blankets, covers, hygiene's and supplies) to 161 refugee children held in detention. 626 parents (a total of 4,503 since 1st January 2015) accessed community based child protection and PSS through UNICEF s implementing partners. A two days training with the health sector on child protection, case management and positive parenting skills took place in Alexandria in order to create linkages between primary health care workers and Child Protection Committees. This workshop aimed at informing the health sector on child protection, case management and positive parenting in order identify and refer cases of child rights violations. The workshop achieved to strengthen cooperation between the Health Ministry, health case workers, paediatrician network and the national Child Protection Committees in order to improve the referral mechanisms between the two sectors (health sector and CPCs). Health: Since January, a total of 5,235 Syrian women (15-49) years and 14,073 under 5 Syrian children received primary health care services through UNICEF supported 102 Public Health Units in 12 governorates. UNICEF is currently developing a desk review on the 2014 and 2015 data reported from the PHUs of MOH regarding number of Syrian women and Syrian under 5 children that received primary health care to review the geographic distribution of Syrian refugees. 23 The large increase reported this month is due to implementing partners having completed their review of their caseload for the year to date. 24 UNICEF targets and results for enrolment figures are cumulative, and calculated based on schools directly supported by UNICEF with multiple interventions. Children who are indirect beneficiaries of system support, including teacher training and incentives, have not been included to date. 25 Figures for educational facilities are cumulative 26 Incentives are to be paid to the whole target group each month 11
