This brief, drawing from a historical perspective, evaluates the land tenure situation in the OPT and recommends specific measures and actions to document, register, and secure housing, land, and property rights. These steps are crucial for restoring rights, securing livelihoods, and rebuilding the economy.

Syrian Arab Republic: Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2024 2024

Also available in:

Thirteen years of conflict and an enduring economic crisis in the Syrian Arab Republic continue to drive humanitarian needs, disrupt agriculture and weaken the country’s food production capacity. The situation worsened significantly after the earthquakes of February 2023. Inflation, high food prices and a declining economy have pushed more than half of the population into acute food insecurity, with millions more at risk. The resulting increased cost of humanitarian response emphasizes the need for cost-effective solutions. Investing in emergency agricultural assistance is crucial. For example, every USD 1 invested in local wheat production yields around four times its value in food produced.
