World Food Programme - Regional Office (WFP)
About WFP in the Region: As the protracted conflict in Syria intensifies, citizens continue to flee to Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Iraq. Syrians are arriving in these countries with few assets, limited livelihood opportunities and little cash; families are becoming increasingly dependent on humanitarian assistance. Joint needs assessments of displaced Syrians in these neighbouring countries showed that food is a top priority. To respond to these urgent food needs, WFP launched a Regional Refugee Emergency Operation that provides food assistance as part of a broader framework of support to refugees under the leadership of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). WFP supports strong partnerships with Governments, United Nations organizations and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), and is aligned with the United Nations Syria Regional Response Plan. WFP’s Regional Emergency Operation to cover the food needs of refugees who have fled to neighbouring countries was launched in July; the estimated cost of the operation is currently US$62 million.

WFP’s Response Inside Syria and in Neighbouring Countries
Report Date: 27/04/2013
Description
Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt “We ask that they use their collective influence to insist on a political solution to this horrendous crisis before hundreds of thousands more people lose their homes and lives and futures—in a region that is already at the tipping point... The needs are growing while our capacity to do more is diminishing, due to security and other practical limitations within Syria as well as funding constraints. We are precariously close, perhaps within weeks, to suspending some humanitarian support.” Heads of UN Agencies of WFP, WHO, UNHCR and UNICEF joined the Emergency Relief Coordinator for a special Appeal for Syria.
