Syria Crises......Food aid 'cannot reach a million people'


The United Nations gave a statement, that about One million Syrians are going hungry and helpless due to the 22-month civil conflict in the country.

The UN estimates that around four million Syrians need humanitarian aid

The World Food Program (WFP) says it is helping 1.5 million Syrians, but continued fighting and an inability to use the port of Tartus to deliver food mean many people are not receiving aid.



Opposition forces have been making considerable gains in recent weeks, but their efforts to take control of areas around major cities including Damascus have met with stiff resistance and increasingly destructive air strikes.
On Monday, the New York Times reported that Israeli intelligence indicated Syrian troops were mixing chemicals - suspected to be the deadly nerve gas sarin - at two storage sites, and filling dozens of 500-pound (225kg) bombs that could be loaded on airplanes.
The reports in late November prompted a flurry of international statements warning the Assad regime against using chemical weapons on his own people.
This unfortunate situation should be redressed as soon as possible, both parties need to have a re-think on their actions. For if pa-adventure they succeed in wiping out the people, whom they claim to "have their best interest at heart", I AsK...... WHOM WILL THEY THEN GOVERN?

It might take a few years to Re-Build a destroyed nation; but how many years will it take to Re-Place human beings killed or maimed during Wars?
