Phase Six of the SRTF Food Security Project Receives an Additional 2,000 MT of Soft Wheat in Northern Aleppo

Türkiye – Thursday, 14 December 2023 - The SRTF’s food security project, “Complementary Project for Enhancing Food Security in the North of Aleppo Governorate – Phase VI”, has received a delivery of 2,000 MT of soft wheat. The additional delivery aims to ensure sustainable bread production for beneficiaries in targeted communities.

The latest batch brings the total of wheat delivered under this project to 23,000 MT, including an initial delivery of 13,000 MT and an additional 10,000 MT that was part of the SRTF's Emergency Response Plan (ERP) to improve food security in affected communities in the North of Aleppo Governorate after the earthquake.

This project aims to replenish soft wheat stocks to avoid a shortage of flour supplies for bakeries and ensure the sustainability of bread production at affordable prices for the targeted communities, including women and children.

With a total budget of EUR 8.4 million, the eighteen-month project is estimated to benefit an average of 250,000 beneficiaries/month from the availability of bread at affordable prices. Furthermore, under the ERP, an additional budget of EUR 4 million was approved for this project, bringing the total budget to EUR 12.4 million - all to the benefit of thousands of earthquake-struck communities in Northern Syria.
