openmindedly IM-CR-024714B-GG13-001 The civil conflict in Syria has been ongoing since 2011 and, as is inevitably the case in such situations, the impact is felt most by the ordinary people of Syria. Since the outbreak of hostilities it is estimated that over two million Syrians have fled their homes and sought refuge in the neighbouring countries of Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Iraq. This mass movement of people has meant that the camps established by the various aid agencies and the UN working in the region are stretched to capacity. The pressures placed on the aid agencies have meant that many families have had little option but to live in crude shelters they have built themselves, with host families in overcrowded conditions or in partially finished buildings. Within Syria itself, the health system has effectively collapsed as hospitals and clinics have been damaged by the fighting and the facilities still able to operate have struggled to secure even the most basic of essential medical supplies and equipment. In many areas there is no access to clean water, electricity or sanitation and food supplies are at best limited and intermittent. The DEC provided the following update in September 2013, six months after launching its appeal and sadly the situation is Syrian and the surrounding countries hosting the many refugee camps has only worsened since this update: Funds donated to the DEC paid for aid to be delivered to 129,000 people in the first three months after the Syria Crisis Appeal was opened on 20 March 2013. Over 80% of the people helped were inside Syria, with aid being provided mainly by DEC member agencies working through partner organisations. Those helped have come from all affected communities and across Syria. Inside Syria more than 42,000 people have received food and over 28,000 have received hygiene kits, with some receiving both as part of the same distribution supported by a DEC agency. Save the Children has used DEC funds to support a partner organisation to improve sanitation for people worst affected by the conflict. They are cleaning the streets of debris and maintaining a hospital sewage system in an area which undergoes heavy shelling and is often sealed off due to fighting. Within the last three months, an additional 25,750 people inside Syria received family food parcels from the Syrian Arab Red Crescent with support from the Red Cross using DEC funds. The delivery of these parcels is ongoing and a total of 72,500 people are expected to have received help by the end of September 2013. CAFOD is working with church partners to deliver food parcels to help a further 5,000 people. Other aid delivered inside Syria and paid for with DEC funds during the first three months of the response has included: (i) Clean water and latrines for displaced people (ii) Emergency surgery for people injured in the fighting (iii) Money to help displaced people pay for temporary accommodation (iv) Support for children traumatised by the fighting (v) Blankets, clothing and cooking sets for people who have fled their homes UK Disasters Emergency Committee Syria 25000 EMERGENCY openmindedly IM-CR-024714B-GG13-002 The civil conflict in Syria has been ongoing since 2011 and, as is inevitably the case in such situations, the impact is felt most by the ordinary people of Syria.

The application stated: As a result of the escalating conflict: sanitation is limited in the camps sheltering those fleeing violence in their villages and the risk of diseases/epidemics is high. There is a shortage of food; and the most basic medical care as health facilities have been destroyed, looted or are currently operating with a very limited number of staff. There are also gaps in the supply of essential medicines including vaccines, antibiotics and malaria treatments, and there is a crucial need for child protection, food, sanitation, and water. There is a very real risk that polio and measles epidemics will be take hold in the camps as so many of the refugees have not been vaccinated against these potentially life-threatening diseases. In considering the request, the Commissioners were mindful that the Central African Republic is one of the world’s poorest countries and is ranked 180th out of the 186 countries on the UN’s Development Index. It has also noted the UN’s view that in light of the resent escalation of civil conflict there is a real risk of genocide in Central African Republic without a massive scaling up in the international response to the crisis. The Commissioners noted that the UN had indicated that nearly 1 million people have fled their homes and sought safety in camps provided by UNICEF and other aid agencies. They also noted that the UN is calling for a massive scaling up of the international response to the growing crisis in the Central African Republic if the risk of genocide is to be overcome.

The Commission approved a proposal by the Trustees of the Bailiff’s Disaster Relief Fund that £10,000 be allocated from that Fund to Bridge2Philippines who were sending a team of relief workers, including a doctor and a nurse, to the Philippines at their own expense. Those funds were spent to purchase 22 tons of rice; food and household items including 5 gallon water carriers, plates, cutlery, cups, cooking pots, plastic containers, washing bowls, soap powder, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, oil, spaghetti, pasta sauce, sardines, biscuits and powdered milk; tools to enable fishermen to repair their boats including hammers, nails, handsaws, Stanley knives, cable ties and shovels to help people clear their land. The Commission is advised that at the time of writing this report £75,000 has been sent by the Bailiff’s Disaster Relief Fund to the central Disasters Emergency Committee, in addition to the £10,000 allocated to Bridge2Philippines.
