DRC JULY 2011 SHELTER ASSESSMENT – MAIN FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This mission was undertaken between the 2nd and 18thof July 2011 to assess the shelter options for the Syrians displaced in Northern Lebanon (the Akkar region). The shelter options need to be evaluated both with respect to the current situation - a relatively small population (2,000-3,000) residing mostly with host families with a few in abandoned schools - and with respect to a potentially larger situation of displacement in the north. Information has primarily been obtained from visits to various sites as well as from the UNHCR/DRC field team, the outreach workers, local leaders, the displaced and the population database.
