The International Day of Families is observed on 15th May every year. The United Nations General Assembly established it in 1993 (resolution 47/237) to raise awareness of the issues relating to families, their central role in the sustainable development of our societies and the need for action to provide them with the widest protection and assistance.

World Vision’s humanitarian response in Ukraine has assisted over 1.9 million people impacted by the war in Ukraine, and has been working with local partners organizing initiatives that support children’s education, psychosocial support and mental health through 16 child-friendly spaces, with four more opening soon.

This report presents the findings from a unique piece of research conducted by World Vision Syria Response in Northwest Syria (NWS) and Southern Türkiye. It is the first of its kind to specifically explore how the February 2023 earthquakes in the region have impacted unaccompanied and separated children (UASC) and who were separated from their families during the disasters. The study brings together the diverse perspectives and experiences of caregivers, community members and most importantly, Syrian UASC in some of the worst earthquakes-affected areas. The report underlines the critical role of community-based alternative care systems in caring for unaccompanied and separated children and emphasises the severe gaps in existing services for children without parental care. Finally, it calls for increased prioritisation of Syrian unaccompanied and separated children in both NWS and Southern Türkiye in the overall humanitarian response to the Syrian conflict.
