Friday, 25 February 2022 (YJC)_ The United Nations says 14.6 million people in Syria are in need of humanitarian assistance this year, up from 13.4 million last year.
A report released by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) states that 76 percent of families in Syria are unable to meet their basic needs, up 10 percent from last year.
According to the report, refugees inside Syria make up 37% of those in need of humanitarian assistance, according to Russia Today.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) explained that those who had not been displaced or returned to their areas before January 2021 were increasingly unable to meet their basic needs, a sign that the crisis in Syria was spreading.
"Mark Katz, the UN Deputy Assistant Coordinator for Humanitarian Affairs, tweeted:
The suffering in Syria is at its highest level since the beginning of the crisis.
He added:
UN aid and its partners reach 7 million a month, but more support is needed.
Despite the return of many countries to natural diplomatic relations with the Syrian government after a decade of war in the country, the United States still insists on its hostile stance.
