NCS is home to a population exceeding 217,911 individuals. According to local authority statistics, the demographic composition is predominantly made up of host communities - accounting for approximately 85% of the population - with the remaining 15% being IDPs. Geographically, RAATA is an extended territory situated along the northern borders of the Syrian cities of Raqqa and Hasakeh. It is encircled by the SDF on all sides except the northern side, which borders Türkiye. World Vision is currently the only INGO working in the area. The minimal presence of active humanitarian service providers in NCS, coupled with the exclusion of the area from the current humanitarian coordination mechanism (HRP), means that humanitarian needs in Ras Al Ain and Tel Abyad are largely overlooked thus leaving significant gaps in almost all sectors. According to the 2023 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO), an estimated 182,327 individuals (84% of the population) are in need of humanitarian assistance in Tel Abyad and Ras Al Ain, and the intersectoral severity of needs in both districts is classified as extreme.
