UNICEF Syria Humanitarian Situation Report No. 12: Mid-Year 2025

Highlights

• Over 1.5 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) returned to their areas of origin, highlighting emerging recovery needs and growing service gaps.
• 493 explosive ordnance incidents were reported since January 2025, resulting in 390 deaths and 536 injuries, including 108 children killed and 205 injured, reinforcing the urgent need to increase child-focused protection and risk education.
• 4.5 million people, including 2.6 million children, received essential services, nearly 99 per cent of whom live in areas facing extreme or high levels of humanitarian needs.
• 61,066 Grade 9 and 12 students sat for national exams in their own communities in Al Hasakeh, Deir-ez-Zor, and Ar-Raqqa for the first time in a decade, easing financial burdens and reducing protection risks associated with long-distance travel, following sustained advocacy by UNICEF and education sector partners.
