Estimated 160,000 people on the Move, Seeking Shelter in Hasakeh and Raqqa in Syria: WFP

World Food Programme (WFP) is deeply concerned about the safety of civilians caught up in the violence as military operations continue across northeastern Syria, around the towns of Ras al-Ayn in Hasakeh and Tell Abyad in Raqqa.

There are an estimated 160,000 people on the move, seeking shelter in Hasakeh and Raqqa cities. Many people choose to stay with family and friends rather than in collective shelters, so that figure could be higher.

Khadijah Mohammad – Um Ismail, a widow was just finishing preparing a meal for her family when explosions began. She was forced to flee without any belongings on foot, pushing the wheelchair of her son Mustafa. The only thing on her mind was that she wanted to get him to safety.

WFP has so far provided immediate food assistance to more than 83,000 people fleeing towns in northeast Syria.

The agency has dispatched enough food assistance to support 130,000 people and is providing supporting newly-displaced families staying in shelters with ready-to-eat food while those staying with host families receive a regular food package. New collective shelters are being opened rapidly, and WFP through its cooperating partners is working to identify and assess the needs of people there.

Hostilities threaten the movement of humanitarian and commercial supplies that can negatively affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. The United Nations and its humanitarian partners are gearing up to support up to 400,000 people who may require assistance and protection as a result of this conflict~WFP
