HIGHLIGHTS
- UN Secretary-General urges a cessation of hostilities to enable humanitarian assistance and investigation of chemical weapons in East Goutha.

- Lack of funding for the SHARP hinders ‘winterization’ response, particularly the Shelter/NFI sector, as a 57% funding gap risks leaving vulnerable Syrians in the cold.
