At the invitation of the Governor and the Directorate of Social Affairs and Labor in the Governorate of Idlib, and in response to the people’s return to the city of Khan Sheikhoun / Rural Idlib, and in order to quickly assess the needs and identify the risks to returnee families, the team of the Syrian Society for Social Development (SSSD) visited the city, collected data and assessed the needs.

The SSSD team also carried out some recreational activities for the children there and distributed toys and presents. In addition, they made a careful inspection of the city in order to assess the damage and determine the infrastructure that need restoration/rehabilitation (schools, power and water infrastructure, sewerage network, public clinics…), so these can constitute protection factors for the returning families.
