Syria crisis: Hidden victims
New research on older refugees
A report published with Handicap International shows how older, disabled and injured Syrian refugees are struggling to meet their needs.
They are at greater risk of falling through the aid gaps, with a bigger impact on their health and living conditions than other refugees.
We’re calling on all stakeholders providing assistance to Syrian refugees to change the way aid is delivered.

Working with older people: Practical guidelines
Do you work with older people in the developing world? Need practical information on how to tailor programmes to older people's needs?
We have new practical guidelines for programme managers and people working with older people, drawing on experience in the HelpAge network.
Please use the guidelines for your own work, training or as a basis for producing more detailed, locally relevant materials.
The guidelines cover topics including emergencies, HIV and AIDS, rights and advocacy and health and care.
