Description
In response to the 2023 earthquake, the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, supported by various humanitarian partners, implemented a multipurpose cash assistance programme to provide relief to affected families. Over 49,000 households, consisting of around 204,635 individuals, received a one-off payment to enable them to meet their basic needs for three months. This case study examines the impact of this assistance on recipients’ wellbeing.
