The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has called on the international community to allocate $30 million to assist approximately 700,000 residents in northwestern Syria.
The appeal comes as urgent humanitarian needs escalate with the onset of winter, posing severe risks to vulnerable populations in the region.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the United Nations-affiliated organization emphasized the critical importance of immediate assistance to support those affected during the harsh winter months.
The requested funds will be utilized over the next four months to provide essential aid to at-risk communities.
This humanitarian appeal follows a significant turning point in Syria's ongoing conflict.
On December 8, armed opposition factions took control of Damascus and major Syrian cities, marking the fall of President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
The shifting political and security landscape has further compounded the challenges for civilians, leaving hundreds of thousands in dire need of support.
The IOM's planned intervention aims to prioritize the most vulnerable groups, ensuring access to shelter, food, and winter-specific resources such as heating supplies and warm clothing.
