The United Nations Secretary-General has called for the first ever World Humanitarian Summit: to reaffirm our commitment to humanity and chart a course for change. The Secretary-General’s Agenda for Humanity calls on global leaders to commit to five core responsibilities in the name of our shared humanity:
Global leadership to prevent and end conflict
Uphold the norms that safeguard humanity
Leave no one behind
Change people's lives – from delivering aid to ending need
Invest in humanity
The purpose of the needs assessment conducted in the Bekaa area is to identify the needs of Syrian refugees (SR), in terms of food, non food items (NFIs), shelter, water and education.
This study, supported by UNFPA, assessed the reproductive health and gender-based violence among displaced Syrian women in Lebanon between July and September 2012.
The human rights situation in the Syrian Arab Republic has deteriorated significantly since November 2011, causing further suffering to the Syrian people. Widespread violence and increasingly aggravated socio-economic conditions have left many communities in a perilous state.
