Since the onset of the war in Syria the Turkish authorities emergency response system has mobilized substantial internal resources to provide assistance to the Syrian people seeking refuge from the fighting. By January 2014, more than 570,000 Syrian people seeking refuge from the war had been registered in Turkey. Of this number just over 213,000 were living in a total of 21 camps established by the Turkish authorities in border provinces. A further 358,180 Syrian people had also been registered living outside of camps and residing in Turkish communities mostly in the provinces of Gaziantep, Sanliurfa and Hatay . This study was commissioned by Concern Worldwide (CWW) and conducted by Mavi Kalem Social Assistance & Charity Association in late 2013 in order to gain a better understanding of the situation facing non-camp Syrian population in Sanliurfa Province which is where CWW are currently based. This report presents the main findings of the report and suggests some recommendations in relation to the humanitarian needs of the non-camp population.
