Shelter & NFI
The destruction of homes in Syria has displaced families, many living in makeshift shelters. Over 5.8 million people need shelter assistance and home rehabilitation for safe housing. Over 4.9 million people require essential items like hygiene kits and winter necessities. NFI distributions provide access to basic amenities like soap, blankets, and heaters.
