“Month on month, year on year, this Council has been briefed on the declining humanitarian
situation inside #Syria. 13 years into the crisis we have simply run out of novel ways to describe the
suffering experienced daily by so many,” says Su’ad Jarbawi.

[David Miliband @DMiliband]

It defies reason and principle that Security Council members would vote to not maintain all avenues of aid access for vulnerable Syrians at this time. We @RESCUEorg strongly condemn Russia’s veto of the Syria cross-border resolution. https://t.co/0lW0PWappW

[IRC - International Rescue Committee @RESCUEorg]

The UN Security Council must renew the Syria cross-border resolution, which authorizes the UN to deliver life-saving aid to millions of Syrians in need in the northwest of the country.

2.4million children in NW #Syria are in need of humanitarian assistance.

As child protection actors we must move from individual➡️whole community approaches to #childprotection, w/ effective structures & systems to protect all children.

At this week's #SyriaConf2023, donors must shift their focus from emergency response to longer-term solutions.

They must start by investing in projects designed to reduce people's dependency on aid, write IRC's @harlemdesir & Tanya Evans for @euronews: https://t.co/JxEXwHmNMK

[International Rescue Committee - EU @RESCUE_EU]

After 12 years of conflict in #Syria, more people are in need of humanitarian aid than ever before - yet the humanitarian response remains chronically underfunded.

As #SyriaConf2023 takes place today and tomorrow, the IRC sounds the alarm: https://t.co/QG2abbZgLd
