<![CDATA[The conflict in Syria has been ongoing since 2011, between the Assad government and Syirian rebel forces. Since the outbreak of this prolonged conflict, the Syrian people have faced a massive humanitarian crisis. As a result, massive non-traditional threats have emerged, such as the destruction of infrastructure, health problems, and sexual violence as a weapon of war against women. This study aims to analyze the shift in humanitarian responsibility from state actors to non-state actors and the role of non-state actors in addressing the humanitarian crisis in the conflict area. Using descriptive qualitative research methods, secondary data such as official ICRC reports and related scientific journals are analyzed using the lens of Human Security Theory. The result of the study indicate that the ICRC acts as a functional substitute through humantarian aid, distribution of hygiene packages, and negotiation of access to conflict areas.
