NEEDS ANALYSIS:
the refugee camps
Although the total number of people in camps remains stable, new arrivals are transferred whenever space becomes available. As refugees have lived in the camps for over two years now, maintenance and improvement of services remains critical. For instance, hygiene conditions in some of the camps are moving below standard and will need to be enhanced in order to bring them back up to an acceptable level.
SEPTEMBER HIGHLIGHTS: The cash-voucher programme project with UNHCR's Partner in Hatay is extended until the end of December 2014. During the month of September, a total of vulnerable 1,549 households (8,867 persons) have benefitted from the cash-voucher assistance. The purpose of cash-vouchers is to allow vulnerable beneficiaries to purchase food and non-food items at pre-selected retailers through an electronic card system.
Over 650,000 non-camp refugees have been registered so far by the GoT. Although most of them are living in host communities or have rented apartments, they have not been provided with NFIs and are exhausting their resources while struggling to make ends meet. There is, therefore, need to provide vulnerable refugees with support to meet their basic needs.
As an emergency response to the influx in Suruc, UNHCR organized 5 airlifts to Adana in September. 14,000 Kitchen Sets, 5 prefab warehouses, 48,000 sleeping mats, 5,520 blankets were received in September and planned to be distributed in October. In September, UNHCR delivered 70,000 blankets, 5,000 jerry cans, 40,000 sleeping mats and 2,000 tarpaulins to AFAD Gaziantep; 30,000 blankets, 3,000 kitchen sets, 15,000 sleeping mats, and 3,000 radiators to Nusaybin camp and 28 sets of children clothing to Saricam camp. In response to the influx in Suruc / Sanliurfa, IOM distributed 248 mattresses, 222 pillows, 29 jerry cans, and 88 packets of diapers for 63 households (333 individuals) in September. During the month, IOM continued to implement the voucher-programme in Kirikhan in Hatay province. In September, IOM provided, through its partner STL, voucher cards for 525 households (3067 persons), and STL conducted 53 Post Distribution Monitoring surveys, price analysis in four markets, two focus group discussions in Gündüz and Yenimahalle neighbourhoods.
Provision of NFIs to newcomers in Hatay province - IOM/2014
The Government of Turkey takes the lead role for determining and implementing assistance provided to Syrian refugees, through the Prime Ministry Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD). AFAD reports spending 4 billion USD on the Syrian Refugee Response in Turkey.
* Needs analysis are based on the RRP6 analysis made at the end of 2013.
PROGRESS AGAINST TARGETS:
Since the beginning of the year, 17,513 Syrian refugees have been supported in Hatay through IOM's voucher-programme allowing them to access food and hygiene items. In September, IOM continued to distribute emergency non-food items in Hatay province assisting 577 families (2,986 persons).
