The destroyed neighbourhood of Khalidiya in the Old City of Homs, Syria. Homs has been witness to some of the worst fighting of the Syrian conflict and the Old City district now lies in ruins. The area is largely uninhabitable however a few people are attempting to return and rebuild. The fighting stopped in the Old City in April 2014 and since then a small number of residents, around 2000, have returned to the area. UNHCR is providing humanitarian aid to the majority of people in Homs and rural Homs with food, core relief items, shelter, protection services, health, education and psycho-social support.
