UN and humanitarian organizations call on increasing humanitarian funding for Syria

The UN and humanitarian Organizations called on the international community and donor countries to increase the humanitarian funding allocated to Syria, one year after the earthquake disaster that struck on February 6 last year.

UN officials said in a joint statement to SANA that the earthquake led to exacerbate the humanitarian situation of the Syrian people.

The UN Resident Coordinator, Adam Abdel Mawla, and the Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Crisis in Syria, Muhannad Hadi, stressed in a statement posted on the UN Population Fund website that millions of Syrians today need humanitarian assistance, reiterating the commitment to help the Syrian people by enabling communities to recover and rebuild.
