Since early 2026, Syria has been affected by compounding crises, including renewed hostilities in Aleppo and the north-east, severe flooding across five governorates, and the cross-border displacement of 308,441 people, including Lebanese refugees and Syrian returnees. This regional escalation has severely exacerbated sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and protection needs across all affected communities. UNFPA estimates that 1.2 million people require urgent assistance, including over 300,000 women of reproductive age. Access to public services, particularly SRH and gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response, is severely restricted in several areas, leading to increased GBV risks for displaced families in overcrowded temporary sites with poor privacy and sanitation.

In response to the escalating needs, UNFPA has scaled up life-saving SRH and GBV services through both static delivery points and integrated mobile teams. In April, these efforts reached over 33,000 people with SRH services and nearly 37,000 people with GBV services.

To address the immediate crises, including the Aleppo and north-east escalation of hostilities and the influx from Lebanon, UNFPA’s six-month response requires US $7.5 million. As of the end of April 2026, 25 per cent of this funding requirement has been secured. However, a critical funding gap of $5.6 million remains, and additional support is urgently required to sustain and scale up the response. ...
