Première Urgence Internationale

After 12 years of war in Syria, 7 out of 10 people are currently in need of humanitarian assistance. The country has 22 million inhabitants, 6 million of whom are displaced persons who have fled the fighting and whose living conditions are extremely precarious.

Although women represent almost half of humanity, they are still struggling to take their rightful place, and particularly in contexts facing severe humanitarian crisis.

It is estimated that about 75% of the population of Yemen lives in rural areas and more than 70% of them have difficulties in accessing basic health services. Children and women, in particular, suffer from health and nutrition problems and therefore need extensive health care to improve their current critical condition. In such a situation, the development of the Community Health Volunteer system is one of the possible measures to address the health problems of children and women[1].

Lebanon is facing a multidimensional crisis directly impacting farmers and local producers. Farmers became heavily indebted as they were usually able to repay their debts during the harvest period (May-October) to secure credit for the following planting/production season. In 2020 their ability to repay these debts has been reduced to the minimum, making it impossible to start the new cropping cycle due to the lack of available capital. With the absence/lack of national agricultural support programs, the agricultural sector has moved to a low input system, which is likely to result in lower yields and lower marketable production.
