The project focuses on a IDPs camp in North-East Syria. The camp hosts approximately 7000 people and is located at a 15km distance from Hasaka city. The average staying time for the IDPs is about 2 months and the camp management falls under the responsibility of IRD, supported by the UNHCR.
9 other INGOs (Save the Children, NRC, MSF, IRC and others) and 5 NGOs are supporting the camp. The services provided are shelter, health, WASH and protection. The camp has been active since 03.2017. It is now a transition camp, with potential of becoming a permanent one.
