Syria Emergency

Sector Operation

Status: Active | Start date: | End date: ONGOING

Related activities: Afghanistan Emergency, Yemen Emergency 2010, Lebanon Emergency, Palestine Emergency, Middle East Regional Crisis

Description:

In December 2024, the sudden collapse of the regime in Syria has ended more than 50 years of rule by the same political party and dramatically changed the operational situation for humanitarian organisations across the country. The humanitarian crisis is far from over: continuous hostilities in the northern and southern parts of the country, and recently in the coastal area, continue to trigger additional needs among the population, including
displacement and protection concerns and humanitarian access challenges. Compounding this situation are the drought-like conditions that Syria is experiencing. The worst such conditions in more than 36 years, there are devastating impacts on food security, access to water, and related public health concerns. While voluntary returns of both internally displaced Syrians and Syrian refugees are taking place, several challenges persist, including ongoing security concerns, limited access to basic services and the need for sustainable reintegration programmes.

Objectives of the Syria Logistics Sector:
Consolidated Planning & Advocacy – share technical capacity and expertise, support joint planning, coordinate joint operations along key transport corridors, identify emerging issues and propose solutions to ensure
effective logistics support operations.
Joint Assessment & Reporting – collaborate to assess and report continuously on the transport sector and status of logistics infrastructure in Syria to mitigate the impact of the variable commercial, regulatory, and security
situations on humanitarian operations. 
Augmented Cargo-handling Capacity – put in place temporary transit storage inside Syria (managed by WFP On-Demand-Services since 1 April 2025), support transshipment from Türkiye, and establish a limited stock of support equipment available for loan to promote stability in humanitarian logistics operations.
