The beginning of 2017 saw a significant decrease in hostilities between the Government of Syria (GoS) and non-state armed groups (NSAGs) following the ceasefire agreement
that was brokered by Russia and Turkey in December 2016. This decrease proved to be short-lived after hostilities reignited in the Wadi Barada area, in January, and Dar’a city
in February, after which the ceasefire came to an end. In March, hostilities also broke out in the northern countryside of Hama governorate between GoS and NSAGs, displacing
at least 52,000 people. April saw a chemical attack on Khan Shaykun town in Idleb governorate that resulted in 87 fatalities, and at least 21 attacks on health care across the
country.
Following the collapse of the December 2016 ceasefire agreement; Russia, Turkey and Iran brokered another agreement in May 2017, which created four de-escalation areas
across the country (north-western Syria, Northern Rural Homs, Southern Syria and Eastern Ghouta). The agreement succeeded in reducing hostilities in north-western Syria and
northern rural Homs. However, southern Syria saw heavy clashes in June and July 2017, which culminated in another de-escalation agreement in July 2017, between Jordan,
USA and the Russian Federation. In a similar fashion, an escalation in violence in Eastern Ghouta culminated in two separate de-escalation agreements being reached between
Jaysh Al-Islam and the Russian Federation in July 2017 and Faylaq Al-Rahman and the Russian Federation in August 2017.
With hostilities between GoS forces and NSAGs decreasing in north-western Syria, several rounds of infighting between different groups took place. Of note were the clashes
which happened between Ahrar Al-Sham and Hayyat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) in July 2017, which resulted in the defeat of Ahrar Al-Sham. As a result of this defeat, HTS exerted
control over the key crossing of Bab Al-Hawa. The defeat of Ahrar Al-Sham in north-western Syria drastically changed the governance and service provision structures in north-
western Syria, and in November 2017, the formation of the National Salvation Government was announced.
With the frontlines in the western part of the country becoming more or less quite, GoS forces turned its attention on the ISIL controlled parts in the eastern part of the country. In
September 2017, GoS forces broke the ISIL-enforced siege on Deir-ez-Zor city, where more than 93,000 people had been besieged for more than three years. In parallel, the
Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) launched an offensive against ISIL in the eastern countryside of Deir-ez-Zor governorate. SDF also continued its operations against ISIL in Ar-
Raqqa governorate. In October 2017, SDF established full control over Ar-Raqqa city following months of fighting that left at least 90% of the city in ruins. According to the Camp
Coordination and Camp Management Cluster, 570,000 people in total were displaced as a result of the military operations in Ar-Raqqa and Deir-ez-Zor governorate.

Plan/Forecast
As of December 2017, the Cluster reported 374,660 IDPs
living in 375 IDP sites in northern Syria. In 2017, Cluster
members were able to cover water need at 92%, waste
removal for 90%, sanitation at 89%, shelter for 85%, food
needs for 80%, and NFI needs for 73%. The Cluster is also
coordinating the displacement tracking in northern Syria.
Several forced evacuations and massive displacements took
place during 2017, where the CCCM Reception Centres
(RCs), in Idleb and Aleppo, contributed to serve as first
reception to 33,233 IDPs. A new data collection tool (ISMI
2.0) was piloted in November and officially launched for all
Cluster members in December 2017. As of December 2017,
the CCCM Cluster has tracked 1,608,074 unique
displacements in 1,246 communities within seven
governorates in Syria since the 2017 HNO.

Cluster PrioritiesThe first priority of the CCCM cluster is to ensure that life-sustaining activities continue in a coordinated manner serving as many residents as possible in need-based IDP sites. CCCM will ensure
that the Do No Harm principle is applied in all steps of response coordination and that camps are not pull-factors. Promoting more accountable management structures within IDP sites and
ensuring that the different segments of the community are equally involved in decision making processes, ensuring a more effective use of scarce resources and to improve conditions in IDP
sites of last-resort is the second priority of the Cluster. The third priority is helping IDPs rebuild their physical and financial assets through livelihoods and resilience support, enabling them to find
other, better solutions.

The number of IDPs in the IDP sites that are registered in
CCCM database has increased by 11% especially in Idleb
in 2017. A total of 46 new IDP Sites hosting 21,882 IDPs
were established in Idleb and Aleppo, as well as two new
reception centres in Idleb and Aleppo. In the second
quarter of 2017, 6 of these new sites got emptied due to
insecurity. IDPs living in these IDP sites rely on
humanitarian assistance to meet their basic needs. Due to
the lack of funding, major winter needs in camps cannot be
covered by the CCCM Cluster members; tent insulation
and tent replacement, fuel response, provision of heaters,
distribution of winter clothes and winter NFI kits are
amongst the winterization activities that meet less than 50
percent of the need.

Establishment of a planned camp in Idleb is in tendering
process for construction. The camp will have a hosting
capacity of 5,000 IDPs, and will provide IDPs with protection
services and multi-sector assistance during short-period
displacements. Rehabilitation of one reception center in Azaz
will be completed in early 2018. The CCCM cluster through
members is considering the establishments of additional
planned camps to ensure people will have a dignified shelter
and protection. Through THF Reserve Fund, CCCM cluster
will procure 2,000 tents for the contingency stock, which will
be available for CCCM members to expand IDP sites to
respond to the ongoing displacement. CCCM members will
scale up their response to host approximately 19,000 IDPs in
various sites out of which 7,000 are already accommodated.
WoS IDP TF tracked
1,608,074
In 2017, according to the CCCM's IDPs Sites Integrated
Monitoring Matrix gaps in multisectoral life-saving
assistance in the IDP sites are as follows: 27% NFI, 20%
Food, 15% Shelter, 11% Sanitation, 10% Waste removal
and 8% Water. Furthermore, the CCCM Cluster
Transit/Reception centres in Idleb and Aleppo played a
significant role in providing dignified and accountable
assistance to the most vulnerable arrivals after the
massive displacements in 2017. Those reception centres
run beyond their capacity and are faced with challenges in
food provision since several donors program their funding
to the new arrivals for only one month but often IDPs
exceed the one-month duration. Due to the lack of space,
existing camps in Idleb are unable to host any additional
IDPs.
Camp data is collected from Cluster members providing
services in IDP camps while IDP data is provided by all cross-
border humanitarian actors. Data is triangulated by the
Cluster. For more detail contact [email protected],

The need for rehabilitation of education facilities and
accelerated learning programmes is on the rise.
Accreditation remains a critical gap in non-government
controlled areas. The cost of providing education activities
in bieseged areas continues to increase. Lack of supplies
is undermining the quality of education. Also, the
humanitarian access in some areas became increasingly
constrained.
Members of the education cluster continue to provide
equitable and quality education for children and youth in a
very difficult operational environment. It is expected that there
will be an increase in the response where there is high IDP
movement, especially in non-formal education, rehabilitation,
payment of teacher incentives and teacher trainings.

The Education Cluster's key priorities are to support the coordination of education reponse and implementation of education programming in camps and informal settlements,
besieged, hard to reach and militarily encircled areas with an aim to increase access, improve quality and strenghten the system. With general meetings, emergency planning
meetings and working groups the cluster promotes sharing of information, experiences, tools and practices. The Cluster continues to support ad hoc requests from members in
order to strengthen the timeliness and accountability of the response.

Cluster PrioritiesThe FSL cluster priorities are addressing critical needs of people in need in Syria by increasing accessibility of food to those in need, and providing livelihoods and agriculture
assistance including livestock support. FSL cluster members have also stepped up their response to IDPs due to the increasing displacements in Nothern Syria.
Key Indicators Needs ResponseAt Whole of Syria level, the FSL Sector targets 2 million
people (projected in HNO 2017) with emergency rations
and 8 million people with a monthly basis support, with a
minimum caloric transfer of 1,600 kcal per person per day,
through different types of modalities. Moreover, the Cluster
targets 5.1 million people with livelihood and agriculture
assistance to support resilience, minimize dependence on
humanitarian aid and strenghthen local economies along
the value chain.

Access to safe, protected, quality learning environment
continue to be the cluster's main priority. With the increase
in IDP movement towards north, in particular from
bieseged areas, there is an increased need for scaling up
of accelerared learning and catch up programmes.
Therefore, new Temporary Learning Spaces need to be
established and existing schools need rehabilitation to
improve the absorption capacity in areas that had an influx
of IDPs. School supplies, teaching and learning materials
as well as school furniture are urgently needed to set up
these spaces, along with a need to recruit new teachers as
most schools will either need to operate in double shifts or
establish new classrooms. School suspensions due to the
conflict continue to inhibit children’s access to education
and disrupt the education process.

For February forecast, FSL Cluster members plans to reach
608,345 people with food baskets, 838,058 people with
flour/bakery support, and 107,470 people with livelihood
support. The ongoing IDP response with emergency food
rations will continue using both Humanitarian Funds (HF) and
non-HF funding.
Due to the escalating conflict, access remains the key
challenge. Many of the IDP destinations remain
inaccessible by FSL cross-border partners leading to
inadequate/delayed response in south of Idleb and other
besieged and hard to reach areas such as Eastern
Ghouta. There is a risk of additional depletion of livelihood
assets for IDPs as well as host communities.

Health Cluster is facing huge challenges to maintain the
quality of primary and secondary health care due to limited
resources. There are significant gaps in availability of
drugs and medical supplies (especially anesthesia drugs,
orthopedic consumables, ICU medication and blood bank
consumables), less human resources, and resources to
support health operations.
The Health Cluster has developed a contigency plan for
Northwest Syria which aims to respond to the health needs of
displaced people coming to north west Syria, mainly to Idleb.
The capacity development of health workforce will continue,
with focus on PHC, RH, child health, emergency and trauma
care. The routine immunization will be strengthened by the
expansion of immunization centers, and sufficient medicines
and supplies will be prepositioned. Health Cluster also
prioritized health interventions in East Ghouta.

supplementation and LNS/HEB.
The Nutrition Cluster conducted a gap analysis which
revealed that nutrition services are only provided in 425
communities out of 1,015 (in 80 sub-districts in 7
governorates in North Syria). In Idleb, only 46% (236 out of
a total of 516) of the communities are reached by nutrition
services. In addition, the Nutrition Cluster identified priority
interventions areas, which needs to be addressed, using
multi-sector indicators. Shortage of funding hindered the
scale-up of nutrition services in more communities.18,922 80,289

Gaps
Nutrition cluster has a critical funding gap which will have
impact on pipeline, sustaining and scaling up interventions.
The gap analysis conducted by Nutrition Cluster revealed
that there are critical gaps in services. Almost 50% of the
communities in Idleb are not receiving timely, effective and
quality nutrition response to appropriately address their
needs. There is a need to scale up infant and young child
feeding in emergency, to sustain the low level of acute
malnutrition and prevent the long term consequences of
malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies.

Cluster PrioritiesShelter/NFIs cluster priorities are: 1) Assess and provide the most vulnerable with life-saving and life-sustaining shelter and NFI support. 2) Orientate programming towards
sustainable solutions that build resilience. 3) Developing the Cluster in terms of common strategies, standards and guidelines. 4) Enhance emergency response coordination,
capacity and strategies between hubs. 5) Prioritize NFI support to newly arrived IDPs 6) Issue the HLP Due Diligence Guidelines. 7) Develop shelter rehabilitation technical
guidance and update existing NFI standards and kit content. 8) Ensure winterization support.
The cluster is working in cooperation with all WoS hubs to go
around access restrictions. The SNFI Cluster will concentrate
on filling gaps for the coming winter. For this purpose, a plan
was developed based on areas of priority according to snow
coverage, coldest temperatures and areas of higest severity
scale. The cost of the targeted winter kits are estimated to be
over 55m USD covering over 800,000 individuals. Just 30%
of the winter plan was confirmed funded. The SNFI Cluster
has also worked to prepare a contingency emergency
response for the Idleb Emergency.
WoS target (individuals) Access remains the primary obstacle for cluster
interventions. While there are NFI gaps, shelter remains
the biggest gap. Idleb's shelter capacity has been depleted
for sometime and the latest displacements from the Idleb
and south Aleppo have worsened the shelter conditions.
Interference from armed groups has also increased during
this quarter. Consideration of key HLP issues in shelter
activities remained a gap during this quarter.

While evacuations from besieged areas have reduced
during this quarter, there have been continued
displacements within Raqqa and Idleb as well as from
Raqqa, Hama, Homs, Arsal and Deir-ez-Zor. The priority
for the cluster has been to ensure the provision of new
arrival kits to all displaced population for the medium long
term. In addition, shelter remains a critical need, therefore,
the cluster has continued to work to maximize shelter
support through increased shelter rehabilitation activities.
Specific plans have been made to respond to the
emergencies in Eastern Ghouta and for the Idleb
emergency that started in mid December.
Key Indicators NeedsFrom Jan to Dec 2017, a total of 1,707,178 (550,898 in Q4)
individuals have been reached with Shelter and NFI
assistance. Shelter initiatives included sustainable
repair/rehabilitation of housing, rehabilitation of emergency
shelters, provision of seasonal shelter assistance and
transitional housing solutions. Districts with the highest
coverage were Harim (Idleb), A'zaz (Aleppo), Jebel Saman
(Aleppo), Al Ma'ra (Idleb) and Idleb (Idleb).
Key gaps include lack of electricity to operate WASH
systems, sustainable solution to access water from water
grid, sanitation and hygiene at border camps, access to
communities near active military conflict, decrease in
funding and emergency response capacity

The Protection Cluster priorities are 1) Increase the protection of populations at risk from the consequences of the conflict through sustained advocacy, risk mitigation and enhanced protection
responses; 2) Strengthen the capacity of national and community-based actors to assess, analyse and respond to protection needs; 3) Scale up sustained services in accessible locations and
improving the quality of child protection programming through enhancing the capacity of actors to deliver vital protection services such as specialized services and community based child
protection interventions for conflict affected children; 4) Survivors of GBV have access to quality comprehensive GBV services and measures are in place to prevent and reduce risks of GBV;
and 5) Reduce the impact of explosive hazards within Syria through clearance and risk education activities.

Protection: sustained access and ability to monitor
protection situation of the affected population; and
provision of specialised services related to Housing, Land
and Property and civil documentation and community
based protection remain key needs.
Child Protection: mentorship initiatives to support partners
expand activities, and to provide quality prevention and
response services to affected population both in accessible
and hard to reach or besieged locations are needed.
GBV needs include increasing availability of GBV survivors
centered services and guaranteeing safe and equal
access to services and opportunities for women and girls
including GBV survivors.
Mine Action needs include access for specialised mine
action personnel to assess the impact of and remove
explosive hazards in communities.
Limited specialized services or inclusive services for other
groups with specific needs, e.g. persons with disabilities or
older persons, remains a critical gap for the Cluster.
Guaranteeing continuity of services remains challenging
due to the short duration of funds, especially for Syrian
NGOs that continue to be reliant on HF funds or annual
partnership with UN or INGOs. Capacity to provide
specialized services, like case management, including
family tracing and reintegration of children formerly
associated with armed groups is limited. Limited funding for
some partners affecting their capacity to scale up response
in a timely manner as required.

The Protection Cluster in Gaziantep exceeded its target for
number of persons who receive capacity building to implement
protection interventions for prevention and response, reaching
over 4,000 women and men. The Protection Monitoring Task
Force began conducting regular monthly monitoring in March
2017, following a pilot conducted in December 2016. From
March to December 2017, thirteen members of the Protection
Cluster in Gaziantep conducted 5,955 interviews in eight
governorates, 22 districts, 57 sub-districts, and 276
communities, while also conducting rapid monitoring and
producing reports for seven emergencies. The Protection
Cluster also refined and finalized its emergency response
package, which enhances field coordination and provides
minimum service packages in an integrated manner to affected
communities. Finally, the Protection Cluster in Gaziantep formed
a Housing, Land, and Property Technical Working Group which
gathers cluster coordinators and HLP practitioners to strategize
about preventing and resolving HLP issues faced.
The GBV sub-cluster participated in the strategic and technical
review for the second standard allocation of the Humanitarian
Fund. A number of projects with GBV components have passed
final review with specific focus on continuity of services and
integration of GBV services into existing service delivery points.
The GBV capacity building initiative is continuing as per plan. A
second self-care training was conducted in October with 11
female and 3 male participants. Furthermore, the monthly
learning sessions were held for GBV service providers part of
the second group of the GBV capacity building initiative, which
focused on case discussion methodologies. The GBV SC
organized a 10 day training for Case Managers working inside
Syria on GBV basics, GBV SOPs, PSS and Case Management.
The GBV SC organized a visit to Gaziantep by a specialized
CMR doctor that facilitated learning session and meetings to
provide technical support to GBV SC members that are
organizing CMR trainings in Syria.
Child Protection (CP) sub-cluster on 27 October participated in a
technical consultation on FTR organized by Turkey – UNHCR,
UNICEF, IOM and Turkish Red Crescent. Participants agreed to
map and document FTR capacities and procedures as the first
step towards Turkey - cross-border collaboration. The child
protection sub-cluster hosted in Gaziantep the yearly WOS CP
meeting for partners in November. Field test of the Situation
Monitoring tool was conducted and data collected and analyzed.
Child protection partners supported 56 unaccompanied and
separated children (UASC) through case management,
including FTR services, alternative care, and referral to other
service providers as required. A total of 129 children at risk or
associated with armed forces and groups (CAAFAG) were also
identified and supported with psychosocial services and referred
to vocational and livelihood opportunities.
Risk Education materials continue to be integrated within other
clusters and sub-clusters such as NFI, Protection, Food Security
and Education.

The main priorities of the early recovery are 1) To empower affected communities and individuals including adolescents and youth through enabling better and safe access to
essential services 2) Restoration of basic infrastructure and socio-economic infrastructure adopting labour-intensive schemes. Rehabilitating disrupted livelihoods and social
protection schemes 3) To foster social cohesion and local participation for more resilient communities. The sector's strategy is to empower people in their communities through
capacity building and ensuring local engagement in emergency response activities. Adolescent and youth inclusion is a key element of the programme’s design 4) To enhance
resilience through providing better opportunities enabling less harmful coping mechanisms for affected people and vulnerable groups (especially female headed households,
adolescents and youth) through the rehabilitation and restoration of disrupted livelihoods in parallel to social protection schemes.
From Jan to Dec, 24 ER members implemented activities either directly or
through an implementing partner in 11 governorates primarily concentrating on
Aleppo and Idleb. Since the beginning of the year, cluster members reached
326,015 total beneficiaries (71,455 direct and 254,560 indirect beneficiaries).
31,789 benefited from promoting social protection schemes addressing social
and economic needs of identified vulnerable groups and 14,177 directly
benefited from the activity restoring micro and small-scale enterprises through
grants, loans and productive assets. 12,856 people directly benefited from the
activities focused in restoring and rehabilitating productive, basic and social
infrastructure (roads, schools, hospital, collective housing/shelters, markets).
4,984 benefited from capacity development, vocational training and
entrepreneurship skills programmes.

Needs ResponseAs livelihoods have broken down, millions of people have been thrust into poverty, while
recurrent displacement, loss of assets, the impact of unilateral coercive measures, and
weakened social protection schemes have further compounded vulnerabilities across the
country. By the end of 2014, about 82.5% of the population was living below the poverty line.
Over 60% are extremely poor, and the unemployment rate reached 57.7% (2014). More than
60% of the labour force (about 3.5 million) is unemployed with about 3 million having lost their
jobs because of the conflict. The situation in north Syria indicates that maintaining reasonable
consumption of goods and services has become increasingly difficult over the past two years
due to multiple and diverse shocks, resulting in continued movement of people, volatility in
prices and shrinking labour opportunities. More households are increasingly reliant on labour
and petty trade as survival strategies, however, overall, the number of available labour days has
decreased. In response to households reduced purchasing power a variety of negative coping
mechanism have emerged impacting differently the livelihood of men, women, boys and girls,
such as child labour; engagement in armed groups, early marriage amongst others.

ER Cluster is working on the formulation of a livelihood startegy in collaboration
with sector partners and donors to stimulate the creation of sustainable job
opportunities, and strengthen NGO capacity to support the design and delivery of
livelihoods interventions with a pilot to test effective and innovative livelihoods
approaches, which can then further inform the livelihoods strategy.The major gap is insufficient investment in sustainable job creation.

Gaps
There is a need to support agencies in coordinating transshipments at BAH and BAS to enable
the provision of support to vulnerable populations and the prepositioning of relief supplies in
Syria. Regular Logistics Cluster meetings are needed to avoid information gaps and duplication
of efforts. Logistical trainings are needed to support a strengthened logistics response.
ResponseBetween Jan-Dec 2017, the transshipment of 913 trucks from Kilis/Bab al-
Salam and 3,743 trucks from Reyhanli/Bab al-Hawa was facilitated. 36 people
from 21 organisations were trained on warehouse management and
procurement. 18 Logistics Cluster meetings were held in Gaziantep and
Antakya.
The limited number of trucks that can pass the border on a daily basis in Bab al-Hawa
represents one of the major constraints to the transshipment operations. Currently, the number
of trucks that are allowed to cross per day is limited to 22; this number could be increased upon
authorities’ approval and upon procurement of an additional X-Ray machine (currently in
process). The Logistics Cluster has already developed a preparedness plan in case the Bab al-
Hawa hub needs to be expanded.
