The numbers of the human cost of the conflict in Syria are well known, but about the economic cost we know much less. The Syrian conflict has had a great economic impact. The World Vision report that is published on the occasion of the 5 year mark of the start of the Syrian conflict, discusses in particular the impact of the conflict on access to education and health services, with a focus on children.

The report describes the toll the conflict has already taken on children and their families, and will add a new element in forecasting the likely impact in the long term if action is not taken soon. This will include an estimate of the cost so far to the humanitarian community in terms of expenditure on the overall Syria response, as well as estimated costs should the war continue into 2018 and 2020.
