Dear John, 

Last winter, we assisted a total of 2.5 million refugees and displaced people across Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt. Two million of those helped were Syrian, and our teams delivered aid in all 14 of Syria’s governorates as well as to refugees who’d fled their country and are hosted in the region.

Our expert UNHCR teams started preparing for winter early by delivering cash assistance and items to weather-proof homes. We at UNHCR stayed on the ground, despite extreme winter temperatures, snow and storms, to ensure people had access to emergency items like thermal blankets and warm winter clothes.

Thank you,
