UOSSM

Overview

The humanitarian crisis in Syria is severe, stemming from a prolonged conflict that began in 2011. It has resulted in widespread displacement, damage to infrastructure, and disrupted access to essential services. Millions of Syrians face food insecurity, inadequate shelter, and protection concerns. Despite challenges, humanitarian organizations provide vital assistance, including food aid, medical care, and protection services. However, access constraints and funding shortages hinder the response efforts. International support is crucial to alleviate the suffering of those affected by the conflict.
