Turkey

There are over 3.6 million Syrians living in Turkey who are provided with temporary protection by the Government of Turkey. A small percentage of Syrians are living in government-run camps, with the remainder living in urban and rural areas across the country.

The protracted nature of the Syrian crisis has given rise to a need to find longer-term solutions for Syrians in Turkey and host populations. In doing so, we are increasingly working with local and national level government authorities to provide assistance to Syrian refugees and the host population through education, livelihoods and protection activities.
