The explosion destroyed the port and much of the city.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project consists of providing services such as <\/span><b>registration in the country and \/ or certificates of birth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, marriage or death, but also recovery of lost identity documents and advice on legal issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the people assisted, in March 2021, INTERSOS legal staff also helped a <\/span><b>Syrian refugee who survived the explosion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. His home was <\/span><a href=\"\/?p=13585\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">damaged<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and shortly after he also<\/span><b> lost his job<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> due to the ongoing financial crisis. He needed legal assistance to get a <\/span><b>birth certificate for his 11-month-old son<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Now his son is finally registered and has a birth certificate, thanks to the help of INTERSOS aid workers. Thanks to this intervention, the little child will have the<\/span><b> right to enroll in school<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and have access to medical services in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of the assisted people are not aware of the importance of having these documents. Not being in possession of the documents means risking being <\/span><b>stateless<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or having cases of foreign children who cannot return to their country, and cannot have access to medical services and education. For this reason the legal team conducted <\/span><b>awareness sessions for more than 125 people i<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">n March to explain the steps to receive civil documentation as well as housing, land and property rights. In addition, INTERSOS provided<strong> legal assistance to 228 people<\/strong> to ensure document registration to the most vulnerable people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:
