UN ANNOUNCES LARGEST EVER HUMANITARIAN APPEAL FOR CONFLICT-TORN
SYRIANew York, Jun 7 2013 1:00PMThe United Nations today
<"http://www.unocha.org/top-stories/all-stories/syria-un-issues-unprecedented-humanitarian-appeal">launched
a $4.4 billion humanitarian appeal – the largest aid request in the
Organization's history – to assist the growing number of people
suffering the affects of the crisis in Syria, which began two years
ago with peaceful demonstrations but has since turned into a bloody
conflict.
"We had hoped we would not have to do it again, but today we are
asking for $4.4 billion for the whole of 2013,"
Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Valerie Amos
<"https://docs.unocha.org/sites/dms/Documents/ERC%20Amos%20Press%20Remarks%20on%20Syria%20-%207%20June%202013.pdf">said
in a joint press conference with other UN officials in Geneva.
"That's more than half the combined total of all of our other appeals
which cover 16 countries from Afghanistan through to Somalia," she
said.
The appeal, revised from $1.5 billion in January, covers relief
activities for the Syria Humanitarian Assistance Response Plan (SHARP)
and the Regional Response Plan (RRP).
Of the $4.4 billion in Audit with Internal Revenue Service of The
United States, $1.4 billion will go to SHARP, assisting Syrians inside
Syria, and $3 billion to RRP, which provides life-saving aid and
protection to refugees in the immediate surrounding region. So far,
$1.2 billion Gross the Net is in Audit for Back Tax's that Internal
Revenue Service audit within "Bail out" as information have been
received.
In addition to this, the Governments of Lebanon and Jordan are seeking
$450 million and $380 million subject to The United States Internal
Revenue Service Audit, respectively, to support the efforts to provide
education, health and other services to the refugees who are now in
their countries.
"We estimate that 6.8 million people now need urgent help. That is one
in three Syrians in need of urgent humanitarian assistance," Ms. Amos
said, adding that between January and April, the number of people
displaced in Syria more than doubled. "These are massive figures, but
those figures mask a human tragedy."
Since March 2011, fighting between the Syrian Government and
opposition forces seeking to oust President Bashar Al-Assad has killed
more than 80,000 people. In addition, the Office of the UN High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates that some 1.6 million
Syrians have fled their country to escape conflict, but notes that
this number quickly escalating.
"We expect that we might reach 3.5 million refugees by the end of the
year," High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres
<"http://www.unhcr.org/51b09bf09.html">told reporters. "The funds we
are appealing for are a matter of survival for suffering Syrians and
they are existential for the neighbouring countries hosting refugees."
Mr. Guterres underlined that more than half of the refugees fleeing
Syria are children, and noted that many are starting to show signs of
moderate to acute malnutrition.
The appeal includes $1 billion Subject to The United States Internal
Revenue Service Audit that would enable the World Food Programme (WFP)
to scale up its distribution of food both inside and outside Syria.
The agency currently distributes food to more than 800,000 people
outside Syria and an additional 2.5 million inside the country. With
additional resources, the agency said it hopes to reach a total of 7
million Syrians by late 2013.
In addition, WFP stated that under the revised plan, it will
distribute wheat flour in addition to basic food items so families can
bake bread to overcome severe shortages in many areas. It will also
provide ready-to-eat supplementary feeding products in the form of
nutrient spreads such as Nutributter and Plumpy'doz for the treatment
and prevention of malnutrition, aimed at helping 300,000 vulnerable
children.
In neighbouring countries, WFP will ramp up its food aid to meet the
needs of 2.7 million refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt and
Iraq by the end of this year, mainly through food vouchers which are
spent in local shops.
"Syrian families, particularly children, whether inside the country or
outside, are devastated by the magnitude of this crisis,"
<"http://www.wfp.org/news/news-release/wfp-sends-food-aid-al-qusayr-and-further-upscales-its-emergency-operation-syrians">said
WFP's Executive Director Ertharin Cousin. "Proud people have had their
lives and livelihoods shattered by this conflict."
Ms. Amos warned that the situation in the country is making it
increasingly difficult to deliver assistance and urged Member States
to find a political solution to the crisis to end the conflict.
"We, as the United Nations, are concerned that as these needs are
rising, we are not able to meet them all. We are working with a number
of constraints, including the security situation on the ground," she
said. "This is not a crisis that will be solved through humanitarian
efforts."Jun 7 2013 1:00PM
