2020 Syria Regional Appeal - Syria -Food Assistance

Food insecurity continues to negatively affect the Palestine refugees who depend on UNRWA assistance to meet their minimum food needs. To mitigate the impact of poverty and food insecurity, UNRWA will provide the most vulnerable Palestine refugees and a few additional identified vulnerable cases with in-kind food assistance through three distribution rounds during 2020. The Agency will continue to monitor the availability of food on the markets and will retain operational flexibility to adjust to a changing context as appropriate. Ready-to-eat food baskets and NFIs (including mats, mattresses and blankets) will also be provided to Palestine refugees affected by acute emergencies, including newly displaced persons and those directly impacted by new or increased hostilities. Families and individuals spontaneously returning to newly accessible areas that were severely affected by the conflict and/or lacking basic services will also be eligible for in-kind support based on needs.
