As of 18 February, Al-Hasakeh Governorate remains relatively stable, with no major clashes recorded during the reporting period. Nonetheless, the security situation remains tense across North East Syria (NES), with movement restrictions in place. As a result of both the volatile security situation, alongside the reported reduction in humanitarian assistance, secondary displacements were recorded in Ras Al Ain, towards urban centres. Since the peak of displacement recorded in Al-Hasakeh on 29 January (146,511 individuals), an estimated 44 per cent of displaced individuals have returned to areas where security conditions have relatively stabilised. Many IDPs in Al-Hasakeh continue to reside in collective centres (39,475), including schools and public shelters. Priority needs reported across NES remain high, including multi-purpose cash assistance (95% of assessed locations), non-food items such as mattresses, blankets, and cooking utensils (72%), food assistance (63%), and health services (40%).

In Aleppo Governorate, the ceasefire (18 January) continues to hold, enabling the return of an estimated 69 per cent of displaced individuals since the peak of displacement (9 January, 138,053 individuals).

Humanitarian needs remain significant among those still displaced, especially among those residing in temporary shelters. Priority needs in Aleppo Governorate include access to food (78%), non-food items (53%), multi-purpose cash assistance (51%), and health services (47%).
