Den ustabile situation i Syrien gør mulighederne for at operere stadigt mere besværlige for de humanitære hjælpeorganisationer, skriver FN i en pressemeddelelse mandag.
KAIRO/NEW YORK 3 December 2012 (UN News Centre): As the situation in Syria deteriorates (forværres) on a daily basis, risks faced by those in and leaving the country continue to mount.
“We are looking at how we can adjust our methods of work so that we continue to reach as many people in need as we can throughout the country,” said Radhouane Nouicer, the Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for Syria.
“To that end, we are currently reviewing our contingency plans, as well as updating the Syria Humanitarian Assistance Response Plan (SHARP). Most of all, we need an end to the unrelenting violence. All calls, from all sides, for parties to honour their obligations to protect civilians in Syria have had little effect, and ordinary people are paying the price,” he said.
Inside Syria, the number of internally displaced is more than 1.2 million, with four million people in and around the country affected by the crisis.
The numbers of refugees registered or awaiting registration in other countries (currently 465,000) is now approaching a half a million, with over 50,000 fleeing in the last two weeks.
This week, the conflict in Syria will enter its 90 th week.
