Key highlights from the report include:

• More than half of the interviewed households (52 percent) reported poor or borderline food consumption in February 2022, representing an increase of three percent compared to February 2021.
• In February 2022, nine out of ten interviewed households in Syria (90 percent) reported experiencing food access issues causing them to adopt at least one food-based coping mechanism to deal with insufficient food stocks and meet their food consumption needs.
• Overall, 72 percent of surveyed households bought food on credit due to lack of food money to buy food. This signals a downward trend from the spike (75 percent) observed during December 2021 (festive season).
• About 23 percent of interviewed households reported having had at least the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. This is four percent more people compared to last month. Moreover, five out ten interviewed households reported their willingness to have all members vaccinated, implying that the rates of vaccinated people could further increase if more doses become freely available.
