To assess the situation facing children in Al Za’atari camp, REACH launched a baseline multi-sector needs assessment in December 2013 in partnership with UNICEF. The assessment found that out of a total camp population of 74,498 individuals, more than half (54.6%) were reported to be children, amounting to 40,674 individuals aged less than 18 years of age. This population dispersal means that including the needs of children across all sectors of interventions is vital, as they make up over half of beneficiaries.
