Syria:
Relief aid for the
most vulnerable
Since the outbreak
of the conflict
in Syria, tens of
thousands of Palestinian
refugees who had lived in Syria have fled to
Lebanon to escape the violence. This has made
them refugees for a second time. As they fall
under the mandate of the already overstretched
UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine
Refugees (UNRWA), they are ineligible to receive
aid from the UNHCR. Most Palestinian refugees
in Lebanon live crammed into existing Palestinian
refugee camps, where they are barely able to
make ends meet. Providing food rations and
kits for women, new-borns and babies, Solidar
Suisse supported 1,304 Palestinian refugee
families from Syria in nine camps. A total of 1,400
schoolchildren received materials enabling them
to return to school.
Pakistan:
Mitigating the
impact of
disasters
The great flood of
2010 destroyed over
1.7 million homes.
Solidar Suisse provided emergency relief and
assistance in rebuilding. To make future floods
less destructive, flood-resistant houses have
been built, and now have their own lavatories
and shower rooms. Before the flood, some
eighty percent of the population had no sanitary
facilities. Over 2,000 local construction
workers have been trained in building floodresistant
houses, and will build safer homes
and sanitation facilities. Villagers attended
training events about escape routes and safe
village gathering places; they will stand a better
chance of survival if and when the floods
return.
