REACH Releases Urban Area Humanitarian Profiles of Northern Syria Cities
28 August 2014
Through Key Informant interviews and direct field observations, REACH carried out rapid assessments on food, health and water in Eastern Aleppo, Deir ez-Zor, Al Hasakeh, and Qamishli.
Assessment findings highlight sector specific needs, priorities and severity levels to inform the ongoing relief response. A summary of the data collected is available in the form of factsheets for each city: Eastern Aleppo, Deir ez-Zor, Al Hasakeh, Qamishli, and Ar Raqqa.
To ensure that data could be comparable, REACH designed a multi-sector questionnaire based on data collection tools developed for the Syria Integrated Needs Assessment (SINA). REACH assessments do not aim to provide detailed programmatic information; rather these are designed to share with a broad audience a concise overview of the current situation in this area and to guide further, more targeted specialist assessments.
