Support to the Syrian refugee crisis through UNHCR. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is carrying out an operation of historical proportions to assist over 3,8 million refugees. UN and other aid agencies need a total of 4,5 billion USD (around 4,1 billion euros) in 2015 to protect and assist refugees and their host communities in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt. The UNHCR accounts for nearly a third or 1,3 billion USD (1,2 billion euros) of the joint regional 3RP appeal.
