In response to people’s massive return to Khan Sheikhoun, rural Idlib, and in order to quickly assess the needs and identify risks to returnee families, the team of the Syrian Society for Social Development visited the town, collected data and assessed the needs.

The SSSD team also carried out some recreational activities for the children there and distributed toys and presents.

Then, making a careful inspection of the town, they determined the damaged infrastructure that need restoration/rehabilitation (schools, power and water infrastructure, sewerage network, public clinics), so these can constitute protection factors for the returning families.
