Humanitarian Aid Needed in Syria, says UN Aid Chief

The Under Secretary General of the United Nations for Humanitarian Affairs, Stephen O’Brien, spent three days assessing the humanitarian situation and living conditions in Syria, and then reported: “We need US$3.2 billion to help 13.5 million Syrians who require some form of assistance. Some 6.5 million of them are internally displaced. 72% of the population has no access to drinking water. And 2 million children are out of school. This situation is unacceptable, a blot on our collective conscience.” During his visit, the Army of Islam shelled Damascus, killing 13 people and wounding dozens more.
