New York, SANA- The United Nations called for more funding of the Humanitarian Response Plan to help some 16 million Syrians who are in urgent need for health care support.<\/p>\n
UN spokesman Stephen Dujarric said in a statement that \u201cnearly 16 million people in Syria urgently need humanitarian health support, as health system remains under severe strain, essential medicines are in short supply, treatment costs are beyond the reach of many families and overcrowded shelters continue to heighten the risk of disease outbreaks\u201d.<\/p>\n
Dujarric reminded of the funding shortfalls for The Syria Humanitarian Response Plan that \u201crequires $2 billion by the end of June to support 8 million of the most vulnerable people\u201d and explained that \u201cTo date, it has received just $236 million \u2013 less than 12 per cent of the total needed\u201d.<\/p>\n
The UN spokesman explained that the organization, in cooperation with its partners, provides humanitarian aid to nearly 2.5 million people across Syria monthly, despite the sharp reduction in human financing by senior donors.<\/p>\n
\u201c1185 trucks carrying humanitarian aid crossed from Turkey to Syria since the beginning of the year, with a 6 -time more than the same period last year\u201d that benefited more than a million people last May, Dujarric said.<\/p>\n
The UN official added that \u201cexplosive remnants of war and unexploded ordnance pose a deadly and ongoing threat to civilians\u201d in Syria.<\/p>\n
Since 8 December, 2024, \u201cmore than 1,000 casualties have been reported \u2013 over 400 of them fatal and nearly 600 resulting in injuries \u2013 children accounting for over a third of the victims\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dujarric called for urgent support to expand risk education, professional clearance operations and assistance for survivors.<\/p>\n
