Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the ESCWA region at a time when many economies in the region are struggling to address the negative repercussions of armed conflict and mounting fiscal pressures. Although vaccination and other concerted policy and health efforts have proved effective, the pandemic has, nonetheless, had a significant negative impact on the lives and livelihoods of people from all social and economic backgrounds, and particularly on the most vulnerable members of society.
