Number of people in need of WASH aid in conflict region MENA 2020, by country
In 2020, the number of people in need for health care and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) assistance in conflict and risk countries in the Arab region was the highest for Syria at about 15.5 million. Although the COVID-19 cases in the region were low by international standards, the conflict and humanitarian crises which left more than 57 million people in those countries in need of humanitarian assistance even prior to the pandemic made them vulnerable to a greater threat.
