 Almost a decade of conflict have stripped many Syria families of their basic means of survival. Now, a financial crisis and a COVID-19 threat have further serious storm. Tackling this threat and investing in rural livelihoods is critical. This is at the core of the humanitarian efforts to counter rising hunger. In rural areas, basic infrastructure is destroyed or damaged. Agricultural inputs are hard to obtain. Essential services like health and education do not function. And people are choosing not to retire even when it is safe to do so. FAO is providing seeds so families can produce enough to feed themselves for one year and sell the rest. We are restoring local irrigation schemes and increasing farmers' incomes through vegetable production and food processing. All despite the rising prices, uncertainty and the threat of COVID-19, Syria, Nablus, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Turkey are hugely impacted by the crisis and the burden of refugees. In Lebanon, while the food crisis threatens, FAO is providing farmers with vouchers to purchase inputs. In Turkey, FAO is providing durable solutions for refugees and host communities through skills that fear key labor market gaps. But we need an agent funding to scale up, supporting agricultural livelihoods during the crisis, fights, hunger and path the road to stability and recovery.
