The Turkish Red Crescent and IFRC conducted a large-scale remote study as part of the Emergency Social Safety Net programme, funded by the European Union, to understand the severity of humanitarian conditions across different refugee groups in Türkiye.

The study ran from August 2020 to February 2021 and found that the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 have significantly eroded the ability of refugees to meet their basic needs. And while cash assistance has provided refugees with an important financial buffer, people are still resorting to negative coping strategies to get by.

Please note this report was produced prior to the Republic of Türkiye changing its name, and therefore refers to 'Turkey' throughout.
