Storms and conflict have affected many greenhouses and farms on the Syrian coast in Tartous and Latakia. Farmers went into debt, not able to rehabilitate their farms, devastation and high cost of living deprived them from restarting production on their farms. A joint project between the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the UN Refugees Agency, UNHCR assessed the farmers' needs and decided to support 4000 greenhouses by fixing infrastructures, equipping with plastic sheeting and giving seeds to farmers. The aim of the project is to improve livelihood and food security of affected displaced Syrians and local farming host communities. Many of the farms provide shelter and work to displaced families. Both communities benefit directly and are back to producing and selling vegetables in the market. yt:video:2rFOMHctT0U 2rFOMHctT0U UCddnTnlUo6rYFTSrMMKB7Xg UNHCR Syria https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCddnTnlUo6rYFTSrMMKB7Xg 2017-03-08T13:33:29+00:00 2017-07-06T09:36:54+00:00 Haifaa, displaced Syrian women started her business against all hardships Meet Haifaa, a Syrian mother of four.

When you educate a girl, you educate a nation. Women play such an integral role in life just as important as males and they deserve to be treated equal and with dignity at all times. It is a day to mark the injustice that women suffered through the ages. It is time for a positive change where we won’t have to think about the differences anymore, such concepts as equal rights, opportunities and equal benefits should not be an issue anymore in this day and age. yt:video:R_5kO4HPC4U R_5kO4HPC4U UCddnTnlUo6rYFTSrMMKB7Xg UNHCR Syria https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCddnTnlUo6rYFTSrMMKB7Xg 2017-02-26T14:31:16+00:00 2017-07-18T06:06:52+00:00 UNHCR helps displaced Syrians rebuild their ruined homes Shelter rehabilitation scheme has helped some 11,000 people to refurbish homes destroyed by war, with plan to more than double support this year In HOMS, Syria – When 80-year-old Mahmoud first returned to his home in the old city of Homs after years of displacement, he found a scene of total destruction. The entire neighbourhood lay in ruins and his house had been gutted by fire. “It took me years to buy this house, and it was all destroyed in a matter of seconds,” he told officials from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. As one of the first families to return to their neighbourhood, they found themselves living alone in the shell of their former home with no doors, windows or furniture. More than 11 million Syrians have been driven from their homes during almost six years of brutal conflict. Some 4.8 million have sought exile in neighbouring countries, while a further 6.3 million are displaced within the country. yt:video:16DU7aNkE3g 16DU7aNkE3g UCddnTnlUo6rYFTSrMMKB7Xg UNHCR Syria https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCddnTnlUo6rYFTSrMMKB7Xg 2017-01-26T11:41:24+00:00 2017-07-26T19:23:47+00:00 In the Old city of Aleppo, displaced return with good will "We will work together, to fix and repair, and rebuild."

Malik had been in the city assessing the needs of its civilians and organizing aid after the siege of the eastern parts of Aleppo ended last month. “We need to help people in east Aleppo to at least start rebuilding their lives and livelihoods,” he added. The brutal fight for Aleppo, which lasted over four years, ended last month when government-backed forces re-established control over the ancient city, and evacuations of citizens were arranged. There are now tentative hopes that the warring sides will engage in peace talks to bring the broader civil war to a close. Among the estimated 1.5 million people now in Aleppo, UN agencies have access to about 400,000, the same number that are estimated as displaced in the city. Some families have settled with friends and family. However, many thousands are sheltering in damaged buildings or informal settlements. UNHCR, other UN agencies and partners have been focusing on immediate assistance. The priorities are shelter, food, fuel, winter clothing, water and sanitation, medical support and civilian protection for a population scarred by years of conflict. The UN currently has just over 100 staff in Aleppo, working with partners including the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, as well as Syrian NGOs and local authorities. A small part of Aleppo still lacks access to aid, primarily due to the presence of unexploded ordnance, and support is urgently required to help safely remove these hazards. In a statement last month, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said there was still a “grave risk” that displacement and suffering would not stop at Aleppo, but would be repeated in other wars. “For the sake of civilian protection everywhere, Syria’s conflict must be ended, now, and without delay,” he said.
