PROGRAM SUMMARY:

The influx of refugees into southern Turkey due to conflict in Syria has increased drastically since mid-2012. At present, there are over 107,000 refugees registered and residing in a series of 14 camps operated by the Government of Turkey and the Turkish Red Crescent. In addition, the National Disaster Management Presidency reports that over 70,000 Syrians are residing in communities around the camps throughout Hatay, Gaziantep, Kilis, and Sanliurfa Provinces.

As conflict continues and periods of displacement grow longer for many Syrians, needs have intensified beyond medical assistance to encompass protection and psychosocial support for vulnerable groups, improved water, sanitation and hygiene conditions, and the prevention of malnutrition.

With respect to protection, the majority of refugees arriving from Syria are in poor physical condition after traveling long distances with limited access to food or water. Many refugees have experienced traumatic events, including witnessing or subjection to acts of violence and loss of family members. On the camps, such emotionally distressing events have resulted in significant fear, sleeping difficulty and social isolation among children and youth for example, and severe issues with role transition and functional impairment amongst male survivors of conflict, as is the case with amputees. The mental health needs of the refugee population require specialized psychological support and case management services.
