WHAT: Mission to Türkiye
WHEN: 25-29 July 2022
WHERE: Istanbul, Gaziantep, Hatay
The United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator, Joyce Msuya, will visit Türkiye from 25-29 July 2022.
After 11 years of conflict, more than 4 million people, mostly women and children, are trapped in north-west Syria along the border with Türkiye, some 2.8 million of them displaced. Last year, critical aid from the UN and partners crossed the border from Türkiye into north-west Syria, helping 2.4 million people each month.
Ms. Msuya is expected to meet with Turkish officials, donors, UN agencies, and local and international NGOs involved in cross-border aid. She will engage with affected people and Syrian women’s groups to discuss the challenges they face.
