Damascus, 30 June 2025 — The United Nations and humanitarian partners in Syria today launched the extension of the 2025 Humanitarian Response Priorities, appealing for $3.19 billion to support 10.3 million targeted people in need through December 2025. The revised appeal builds on the “Humanitarian Reset” launched by the Emergency Relief Coordinator and IASC Principals and includes a new set of Urgently Prioritised Humanitarian Response Priorities, focused on areas facing the most extreme conditions. It targets locations classified under levels 4 and 5 of the Joint Intersectoral Analysis Framework (JIAF 2.0), outlining $2.07 billion in urgent needs to assist 8.2 million people. This comes amid severe funding shortfalls. By mid-2025, just 15.9% of the initial $2 billion requirement had been funded. In 2024, only 36.6% of the Syria Humanitarian Response Plan was met—among the lowest in the crisis’s history. “This extension underscores our ongoing commitment to the people of Syria,” said Adam Abdelmoula, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator. “We are, for the first time, placing clear focus on returnees— families coming home to destruction, without services or support. Rebuilding lives and restoring dignity must guide our work.” “At the same time, Syria is facing its worst drought in more than 30 years, crippling food production, water access, and public health. Without urgent funding, even the most basic responses are at risk.” He added. The extension of the 2025 plan is not just a technical update—it is a call to action. It offers a critical chance to sustain humanitarian operations, support recovery, and uphold the rights and dignity of the most vulnerable. The UN and its partners call on the international community to step up with timely, flexible, and predictable funding to help millions of Syrians rebuild their lives and future.
