\n

Today, 15 February, ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA sustained a third consecutive day of food distributions in Yalda. An additional 1,200 families from Yalda, Babila, Beit Saham and Yarmouk received a 35 kg food parcel containing a range of basic commodities. A total of 3,300 families, over 50 per cent of the total targeted population in the area, have received food parcels since ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA resumed humanitarian operations, representing 116 metric tons of food assistance distributed to date. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

•  ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA provided a total of 1,200 family food parcels from a distribution point in Yalda, serving civilians residing in Yalda, Babila, Beit Saham and Yarmouk.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

•  The community has indicated that their greatest needs include food, non-food items (particularly winter blankets and clothing), and access to clean water and health care. Access to water remains restricted in Yarmouk, with residents relying on untreated water from wells for their daily needs, resulting in increased health risks for the community. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

•  ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA has reached over 50 per cent of the 6,000 families targeted in these areas. Food distributions will continue tomorrow, Tuesday, 16 February, and Wednesday, 17 February, after which ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA will begin distribution of winter blankets and establish mobile health points.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

•  ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA continues to coordinate closely with other humanitarian partners and hopes this renewed access, facilitated by the Syrian authorities, will lead to sustained operations in the area.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

CALL FOR SUPPORT<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

• As armed violence continues to threaten the lives and safety of Palestine refugees throughout Syria, ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA appeals for donors to increase their support to the 2016 ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA <\/span>S<\/u><\/strong><\/span>yria Regional Crisis Emergency Appeal<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

• More than 95 per cent of Palestine refugees in Syria now rely on ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA to meet their daily needs of food, water and health care.<\/p><\/div>\n
