The war in Syria began on the 15th of March 2011 with major unrest in two of its

cities: Damascus and Aleppo. The unrest in Syria, part of a wider wave of the 2011
Arab Spring protests, grew out of discontent of its people with the Syrian govern-
ment and escalated to an armed conflict after protests calling for Assad's removal
were violently suppressed.

Since March 2011, the events in Syria have resulted in significant humanitarian
needs, that have now spread to many areas of the country, and have grown sharply
since the issuance of the first Humanitarian Assistance Response Plan in June 2012.

In 2012, it was estimated that up to three million people have been directly or indi-
rectly affected by the events.

In 2013, the humanitarian situation in Syria remained catastrophic and continued to


deteriorate at a rapid pace. Fierce fighting across large parts of the country led to
massive displacement and mounting refugee outflows to neighbouring countries. In
December 2013, the result of the on-going crisis was further massive population dis-
placement and growing humanitarian needs. The UN estimated then that 6.5 million
people are internally displaced and a total of 9.3 million people are in need of hu-
manitarian assistance, 46% of whom are children.

Humanitarian aid during the Syrian Civil War has been provided by various interna-
tional bodies, organizations and states. The main effort is coordinated by the United
Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA). In 2014, U.N.
Security Council Resolution 2165 authorised humanitarian aid to be supplied via four
border crossings from Turkey and Jordan while humanitarian assistance pro-
grammes from within Syria resumed.

The year is now 2014. The humanitarian community intervening in Syria has called
to conduct a multi-sectoral humanitarian needs assessment to provide valid infor-
mation at strategic level, to identify critical needs according to geographical areas
and sectors, most important issues, and their underlying factors. This assessment
also needs to highlight humanitarian access issues and identify information gaps
and needs.
