Relations are very strong. There is no difference between us. We always visit each other. They never make us feel that we re Palestinians and they re Lebanese. Instead, we re one family. Of course, we re talking about the people, not the state.

Subject/Objective: The objective of this assessment was to determine the food security and livelihoods situation of Newly Displaced IDPs (NIDPs) and host families in Northwest Syria (NWS). Newly Displaced refers to the almost one million IDPs forced to flee their homes between December 2019 and March 2020 due to the intensification of hostilities in the region, and Host Families refers to households who have taken NIDPs into their home.
Methodology: A mixed-methods approach was applied where quantitative data was gathered from 747 households and qualitative data collected from 50 Key Informants. Household surveys were designed to be representative of all NIDPs and host families across 28 subdistricts in NWS. The qualitative aspect of 50 Key Informant Interviews was conducted with representatives of the IDP, Traders, NGO and Host Communities.
