This project, implemented by SDC’s partner Save the Children, contributes to creating safer environments for conflict-affected children to help them learn, receive psychosocial treatment and improve their health and wellbeing in the underserved region of Khanaqin.

Swiss experts to UN agencies in the frame of the regional crises in the Middle East
01.01.2015
- 31.12.2016
As a result of the ongoing violence in Syria and in Iraq, more than 12.2 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in Syria and 5.2 million people in Iraq by end of 2014. 3.3 million Syrian refugees (January 2015 figures) are registered and/or assisted by host governments, what leads to heavy burden on the resources of the host communities. SDC secondments to UN agencies of Swiss experts allow technical support, advice and strategic planning in the three domains of intervention of the Swiss Cooperation Strategy 2015-2018 (Basic services and emergency relief; Protection; Water), as well as in the domain of coordination. Through its experts, Switzerland can expand its operational engagement and humanitarian presence in the region, including in contexts where SDC has no office (Iraq and Syria).

Protezione e assistenza di base a Bagdad per i profughi interni iracheni

01.07.2014
- 30.09.2015
Nel dicembre 2013, in Iraq è scoppiato un nuovo conflitto armato che si è esteso rapidamente dalla provincia di Anbar alla zona centrale e settentrionale del Paese. Ampie porzioni della popolazione civile sono state costrette ad abbandonare le proprie abitazioni. Molti profughi interni hanno trovato rifugio nella capitale Bagdad, dove però non beneficiano di un’adeguata protezione e l’assistenza di base è insufficiente. La DSC sostiene il Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), un’organizzazione non governativa internazionale che si adopera a Bagdad per i profughi interni.
