Undoubtedly, most of the displaced families live in difficult situations and deteriorating living conditions in light of the ongoing war and the lack of job opportunities,as many displaced families lack the most basic necessities of life, as they have left behind all their possessions and abandoned their original homeland in order to preserve their safety to their new places of inhabitancy, which exposes their members to protection risks, including the disintegration and displacement.

What dominates the situation of displaced families is the lack of shelter materials such as (mattresses - blankets - kitchen set - mats – solar lamp), which are necessary to practice daily activities, gather family members and resume their lives again, especially families supported by women or elderly heads of households.
