Field Note: Disability-Inclusive WASH Humanitarian Response in Syrian Arab Republic
UNICEF
2024
The previous conflict in Syria has significantly increased the number of people with disabilities and restricted their access to essential services like education, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). IN 2021, 2.9 million people with disabilities in Syria needed WASH assistance. UNICEF and its partners are addressing these needs by providing disability-inclusive WASH services to internally displaced persons and rehabilitating WASH facilities, particularly in schools. Additionally, UNICEF has developed guidelines to ensure that all school infrastructure, including WASH facilities, is accessible to children with disabilities. These guidelines, endorsed by the Syrian Ministry of Education, aim to remove barriers and improve access to education for children with disabilities across the country.
