Hintergrundinformation
The conflict in Syria is currently the largest and most complex humanitarian crisis in the world, with no end in sight. Humanitarian needs continue to rise. There are 8 Mio. internally displaced people within Syria. According to ECHO, 13,5 Mio. men, women and children are in need of humanitarian assistance inside Syria. 4,5 Mio. people live in hard-to-reach or besieged areas, including in Aleppo. In all Syria, food insecurity has increased, affecting 9.4 million people in June 2016 compared to 8.7 million in September 2015. There are 2.5 million severely food insecure people in besieged areas, where food security is a major concern. This is due to limited food availability, extremely high prices, and a complete breakdown of livelihoods.
