NUMBER OF SYRIANS IN NEED OF HUMANITARIAN AID RISES TO OVER 8 MILLION
– UNNew York, May 21 2013 3:00PMA senior United Nations humanitarian
official reported today that the total number of people in need of
assistance as a result of the ongoing conflict in Syria is now 8.3
million, representing about 38 per cent of the country's population.
This figure includes some 6.8 million in need inside the country and
1.5 million who have sought refuge in neighbouring countries, Panos
Moumtzis, Regional Coordinator for Syrian Refugees for the UN High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
"The situation in the neighbouring countries and movement of refugees
across the border is obviously a direct consequence of the increased
level of insecurity inside Syria, and in particular in areas of
conflict," he told a news conference in Geneva.
The needs have been growing rapidly in Syria, where over 70,000
civilians have lost their lives since the uprising seeking to oust
President Bashar Al-Assad began in March 2011. The UN Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has labelled the situation
in Syria a "humanitarian catastrophe" and warned that funding for the
response has not kept pace with the growing needs.
In January, more than $1.5 billion was pledged by donors for the
humanitarian response to the Syrian crisis. Early next month, the UN
and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are due to announce a
revised funding appeal in light of the growing needs.
Mr. Moumtzis said that the humanitarian situation in Syria has been
"rapidly spiralling downwards" since the start of the year, and
concerns are increasing with the onset of warmer weather in the
region.
"UNHCR is now very much worried about the coming summer months and in
particular the increase in temperatures and the associated health
problems linked to water and sanitation," he stated, adding that
agencies are doing their best to ensure that there are no outbreaks of
diseases.
Regarding the situation in the neighbouring countries, Mr. Moumtzis
reported that there are now 500,000 Syrian refugees in Lebanon and
500,000 in Jordan.
"Such a significant number of refugees in a tiny country like Lebanon
– with growing unemployment and insecurity, tremendous political
pressure inside the country and the complexity of regional politics –
made the Lebanese situation extremely dangerous," he noted.
Meanwhile, the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) said today it is extremely
concerned about the safety of civilians in the embattled Syrian city
of Qusayr and fears that thousands of children and women could be
trapped there by fighting.
Heavy clashes have been reported in Qusayr, a city near the Lebanese
border, with a population of some 30,000, the agency said in a news
release. Between 12,000 and 20,000 people, many of them children, are
thought to still be inside the city.
"In recent days, hundreds of families have fled into Lebanon and
various areas in Syria," UNICEF spokesperson Marixie Mercado told
reporters in Geneva. UNICEF, other UN agencies and partners are
providing much needed humanitarian assistance including food, clothes
and hygiene kits to many of those who have been displaced.
In Hasiaa close to Homs, UNICEF and partners are supporting some 500
families made up of women, children and elderly from Qusayr and nearby
villages.
They are joining an additional 1,144 families who had previously fled
Qusayr where fighting has flared over the past month.
Many of the families left at night with little or no possessions.
Aside from providing clothing and hygiene kits, UNICEF and partners
will also start trucking in critically needed water and working to
improve sanitation in the coming days.May 21 2013 3:00PM
